Simondo's & Ted's Photo Shoot Out - Take 1

Thought this might be a good idea for a thread. You guys can judge.
Main aim - encourage Simondo & Ted and others, to post photos!
I'm shooting on a $150 Cannon "Thing", and Ted is shooting on equipment that is roughly 8 times dearer and 4 times better.

I could argue that I get the opportunity for better content, but Ted's gear will take a better photo... George Greenough always said that you can have an average "quality" photo with unique content, and it can be priceless.









(don't get me started on GoPro including Hero cameras and footage capturing devices)

Nice shot Simondo - those waves look bloody delicious - I am so coming down to visit you soon so look out.

Imagine how many "froffers" would be in those shots if it was the Goldie!

GoPro images would be better.

Pup have you got both

Here are a couple shots from Easter. Great w/e away with lots of good waves

Nice ted, what gear you shooting with?


Simondo, not a competition, but excellent shots from different genre's

Some nice work there lads...I will post a few from Easter when I get home tonight

Nice pics guys, here's one of my fave pics from this year. Taken with a Lumix FZ150
It was interesting to check file sizes for Ted & Simondo's pics. Of the pics I right clicked & saved to desktop to check filesize. Simondo's were 3 to 4 times the filesize, about 160kb compared to 40-60kb for Ted's first shots. Pics may well have been taken with a 6 x more pricey cam, but the photo resize makes it pointless to compare until later when you really notice the resolution crank up for his later nice shot of the jetty....My pic was about 800kb & it was resized automatically to about 160kb by the forum.


This one is 270kb taken with my phone, resized by the forum to 89kb

^^^Its awesome when your hobby can find a way of paying for itself or at least contributing some $ towards it. Congratz mate...& that was cool of you to send the shots to the couple. Good idea on the watermark & file resizing

I was invited to the youtube partner program for my first channel 5 years ago & have done the same thing. Spent all the money I've received on upgrading my camera. The fact I have an FZ150 instead of a GH1 is indicative of my earnings lol

That beach shot is from down around Albany, the ocean & its surrounding lands are pretty spectacular. I'd recommend anyone visiting WA to do between Dunsborough & Esperence. The Victorian Coast Between Bells & I don't know, say..Bay of Islands is kinda similar in its awesomeness. An amazing part of the world for ocean lovers

I get a fair few shots when the surfs small......here are a couple from the last few weeks.
