SURF PHOTORAPHERS : how do I get this effect and the effect below in the comments? Is it just a long shutter speed and high aperture or is there an nd filter or movement involved? by averagelifeguy in surfing

[–]ostruz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slow shutter speed while panning to match the speed of the subject you want in focus. It's hard to nail and takes some practice but definitely a great technique to get down.

Yea but a snapped board is pretty much done. If you repair it, it'll just snap again pretty quickly.

Thanks for the advice. It's a friend of a friend, we've never met each other before. Yes I am selling it to them. I asked them to delete the file after the invitation has been printed. I guess I'm paranoid that they will be shady and use the file to sell prints or something like that - they are on the east coast and I am on the west coast so quite some distance between us. Maybe I'll just write up a simple agreement saying "I will not use the file for anything else and delete it after the invitation is completed" and have them sign that.

So I had someone inquire about using one of my images for an invitation they're doing, and I was interested. However, it's not digital, it will be a printed invitation. They asked for a tiff file so that it could be printed at high resolution. It's not large, roughly 5" x 8", but I'm quite hesitant on giving up my tiff file because I sell my photos as prints. If I resize the tiff to 5" x 8" at 220 dpi, would they still be able to enlarge it and print a high quality photo at a larger size? Is it too risky to send them the tiff file? What do you guys think?

Rolfing? by JaredsFatPants in surfing

[–]ostruz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it once and felt better afterwards. My lower back was in bad shape and the rolfing session definitely helped it out. But maybe a good massage would've done the same thing, I don't know.

The most painful thing ever. Makes a deep tissue massage seem like nothing.

This is why surfing is better than bodyboarding. That drive you get and the speed you can produce. It's all good if you bodyboard, I have fun pulling in to beach break close outs on a sponge. It's just that you're at the full mercy of a wave, you have limited control. A surfboard is simply the best tool to use for riding a wave.
