Pensacola Beach was swarming with news vans equipped with satellite hook-ups and parking passes this afternoon. I’d say it was a little sensational, as the crowds at the Dock ‘oohhhhed & aahhhhed’ at themselves on live TV being played back through the tv set up in the Dock bar. No oil to report, just watched everyone watch themselves. I decided to head west to Ft. Pikens to snoop around/soak up the beach. I went for 1/2 mile walk then turned back to find this:

If you can, head out there now. Enjoy it while you can, then concentrate on BP.

Another storm rolled through and the surf picked up this past Tuesday. I was able to shoot a few quick shots then head out for a few waves. Fun but very cold. I need a new wetsuit.

Pretty amazing video. At one point you can see a board buckle during a landing.

It was cold and a little small but fun was had. Here are a few photos:

This should be fun. An old friend, Kaipo is throwing a surf style party with custom designed t-shirts for sale by seven local artists ($5 a piece!!!), free beer, free food, a surf movie will be playing, music and Sean Fell will be doing a surfboard shaping demo. What more could you really ask for? Really?

So, here’s the info:

When: This Friday, Novemeber 6th, 5-7pm / After party will be at The Break on p-beach
Where: Aloha Screen Printing, 2635 Gulf Breeze Pkwy
Ph: 850.934.4716

Each artist (I’m one of them) has designed one shirt. Each shirt will be made right then and there. You’ll get to see the whole process go down.

My mother is not a violent person, but i think this just might push her over the edge…
This looks like a movie where the rubber will actually meet the road.

There have been many advancements with digital sensors housed within all digital video and still cameras, but the “Red One” manufactured by Red Digital Cinema Camera Company is a huge leap. The physical resolution of this video camera is 4900 x 2580 pixels at 30 frames per second and the sensor measures in 24.4 x 13.7 mm (334 mm2). All other digital HD cameras sit at 1920 x 1080/1280 x 720 at 30 frames per second. Below are a few examples:

The surf picked up around here a few weeks ago. It was big for the gulf coast with an onshore wind making for churned up surf. Eventually the wind died and it cleaned up. A good friend of mine Nik McCue took a few shots before he went out. Here’s one:
