Non-Surf Related Photos

so many cool things you can do with a flash. Some of Nelly's work (surf photog for transworld) uses multiple flashes or flashes positioned in the water with him shooting separate. Very creative stuff.

 

Nice work Jay! Just skimmed through your flickr site.
You've created quite a few insane BMX photographs.
Congrats on the publication!

 

does cold water effect a camera even with casing ???

 

Thanks, I've never even been to Ventura, I just drove through there once. The background just looks like Santa Barbara/Ventura County so I took a guess.

 

Yea definitely sandspit I used to live within walking distance to that spot. Never saw it firing like it was in one california day but it looks sick. That pier is actually across the harbor mouth, with a nice little skatepark on the other side.

Hi i know absolutly nothing about taking pictures, but i think i'd be pretty good because i THINK i have a good eye for that. but whats a GOOD, CHEAP camera thats good for a beginner. i don't no anything about shutter, fish eye, and all your other photo lingo. just a easy good camera that can also post pics on internet.

 

So calm, yet so violent.

 

Get yourself a cheap Canon Powershot and you'll be set up. I have a little A530 that works fine, but I wouldn't go any lower than that. I'd actually spend a few more dollars and get something nicer if I were you. When you are dealing with low end equipment you probably should install some sort of editing program on your computer also. My pictures with the Canon come out very dull and bland sometimes so I increase the contrast or brightness to get an outcome closer to what I actually saw.

If your interested in photography read about it and learn about cameras. You can also pick up old film cameras that are all manual for very cheap these days. I could pick up my whole setup for less than 100$ from ebay. I shoot the majority of my shots with an old Ricoh that has no automatic settings, and that thing teaches me alot about photography. It's a costly way to learn, but it's working for me. When you get into all manual cameras and different lenses it's not just a point and shoot thing anymore, you have to take in all the conditions to come out with a good shot.

 

and if you get a canon powershot you can get a fully functional under water housing on ebay for a bit over $100, which in the world of housings is super cheap.

 

you guys know if they make water housings for old film cameras like the nikkormat el series?

 

glad you feel that way ha

 

My cars don't like you.
