Alternate Processing – 2011 Breaka Burleigh Pro Surfing

Hi all


Main Link: My new second gallery of pics from the 2011 Breaka Burleigh Surf Pro, including 10 pics with “alternate processing”


When processing / editing photos I sometimes like to give some pics a ‘zany’ or alternative look. Nowadays there are plenty of ‘presets’ to use with programs like Adobe Lightroom. Here are some samples from the 2011 Breaka Burleigh Surf Pro:


"Kelco Polar Cream"



"Matt's Wedding Fantasy" (by Matt Kloskowski). Surfer: Bede Durbidge



"Stark Raging Black Curve". Surfer: Grand Finalist Jayke Sharpe



"Matt's 300 Look - Strong"

2011 Breaka Burleigh Surf Pro, Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast, 19 February 2011

Hi all

Main Link: My Smugmug Photo Gallery of my top pics from the 2011 Breaka Burleigh Surf Pro

EDIT: New second gallery, including "Alternate Processing" pics

Saturday (19 February) saw the final heats & quarter finals of the Breaka Burleigh Pro Surfing Competition at Burleigh Heads on Australia's Gold Coast. Although the surf was very small (on the grand final day as well), I enjoyed the day and the professional surfers were brilliant at making 'plenty' from very small waves. The winner for the second year in succession was Taj Burrow. Here are some pics (if you like, you can click on any photo to be taken to that pic within the gallery):

PS: Here's a nice short video about Surfworld Museum on the Gold Coast, from the ABC Television program "Collectors" (http://www.abc.net.au/tv/collectors/) and featuring iconic surf photographer Peter "Joli" Wilson:

Hi all

Here are some surfing pics taken in the 2 days immediately after the 2010 Noosa Triathlon, taken at Sunrise Beach, just south of Noosa Heads. Ironically, on the first (overcast) day, I had headed out to photograph birds, but when I couldn't find any, I headed straight for the beach, where some nice waves were breaking at high tide :). Now for some pics:
 




I was using an older camera and was happy with its focus on this one:
