Thanks.

Yeah, it's called a Lensbaby [ http://www.lensbaby.com ]. This was shot with the Lensbaby 2.0. It's basically a poor man's swing and tilt. $150.00. Comes in a wide range of mounts. It's equivalent to an 85mm.

Local funny guy. Not his hair either. I'm sure he was the class clown in his youth. He likes to harass the younger surfers.

dmccarty10 · Aug 22, 2005

As per your request. Some color shots.

dmccarty10 · Aug 22, 2005

I've been having trouble with the lightness or darkness of my shots depending on which monitor I'm using. Often finding that they're too dark or flat on some monitors. Are these shots okay? They're fine on my laptop, but now I'm looking on my office monitor and they look a little dark and not contrasty enough.

A much larger selection of surfing shots for those who are interested:

Thanks. We do live and we do surf.

Cassville? Don't know that, but yeah, Goshen. Exit 13 off the Parkway. Due West of Stone Harbor. Hammonton? I've hiked up around there. Apple Pie Tower. Batona Trail. Got some nice shots of mushrooms and pinecones.
