Pipe Masters?

Well, I wonder what they are going to have to call it? The Ehukai Beach Masters? I am not saying that the surf is tiny. At several feet overhead, it isn’t. It’s just not what you want the last contest of the year to be. We all want huge waves. Life and death sets. I think most competitors agree. This is THE contest everyone dreams about and to have small conditions is a let down. Don’t get me wrong there were barrels and it was fun to watch, but take one look at the promo poster and you see what we all want!

Today I played with a Tilt_Shift lens from Canon (the 45mm). This photo was taken with it and I really like it. I used the lens with the 40D so the multiplier of 1.6x didn’t let the full effect come through, but it still looks pretty cool. Notice how the focus is only in a certain part of the image. You can control the focus area and make some neat pictures. I will post more of these later. So stay tuned!
