Not much to jump up and down about, but everyone was happy to get wet after the spell without wind. I was mucking around with crap when all the good action was going on, and everyone stuggled to find a wave when the camera was aiming at them.
nice effort Paul -and thanks for taking the time to shoot and edit this piece.
Top music choice - what is it ?
What lens where you on ?
nice of huey to build in a polariser with the clouds to kill the glare.
This shows how ridiculously mobile Ben Arthur is at Scarbs. Stoked he got a wave three on such a marginal day - top effort.
freakin awesome standard of wave sailing.I am hanging to get off my "L"plates and into some wave action!!
Loved it fully
Go Paul ! Your artistic abilities are shining through. More more more! oh but if your filming then you don't get to sail hmmmm
PS Paul Sun was cr4p I didn't bother
Thanks guys but it is not that good.
Reflex was nailing plenty of loops and lip smacks but I was distracted every time and just caught the end them. Ben also nailed plenty of better jumps but I missed them too.
There is so much more to putting a flick together like Relfex's and then not boring everyone to death with mediocrity. Reflex, the lens was the sigma 50-500, too soft for clean pics with my lack of knowledge but not bad for film.
I promise to get the rest of the boys in the next one. I may have to film more before I can sail again but not by choice.
The doc said another two weeks before I can sail again, I said no way it is the end of the season and I can't miss anymore. So I will have to wrap the hand up in a sealed glove or something now that the finger will work a bit.
After a week of antibiotics the doc said it was a white tail spider with the venom trying to kill off my hand. Luckily I did go the the doc's after all and it is only my finger and not the whole hand in trouble.
enjoyed the vid - great view
sorry to hear about the white tail spider Paul - nasty bastards they are - and the thing is, they are everywhere and hardly anyone knows about them or how nasty their bites are.
Everybody: Check your bed sheets, under your pillows in your shoes etc. Sounds fear mongering, but seriously, get bitten in the wrong spot and you could be up for loss of a limb worst case. Scared the hell out of me when I got a bite on my big toe when I got into bed one night. I had a client get bitten on the shin and he was still fighting to keep his leg two years later. A very long healing process
your finger looks bad and may get worse
if you dont remember a spider bite to precipitate this then it could be an atypical bacterial infection that may not respond to routine antibiotics
I recommend seeing an infectious disease specialist and getting swabs to identify the organism
looks like celulitus, keep hard on the anti-bodies, 60 years ago you would have lost your whole forearm.. hectic thought eh!!
