Behind The Lens

Location

on north shore of Oahu Hawaii Billabong Classic (surf contest)

Time

late morning

Lighting

natural light

Equipment

had with me 5 canon camera body, from the mark 2's to the 7d. canon lenses, 400mm, 70-200mm is w/ 2x converter, 24-70mm and 10-22mm and finally we had one awesome helicopter hanging around, so we decided to take it for a spin. ;)

Inspiration

Was shooting the billabong classic ( surf contest ) ariel shots, love the sport of surfing, if I'm not shooting I'm surfing, so I know what's going to happen be fore it happens. And it happened

Editing

Minimum post processing

In my camera bag

2e canon bodys, 3ea flashes, 3 to 4 canon lenses and remote trigers for my cameras and flashes, I also carry tripods, and reflectors

Feedback

need to bring a body for every camera lenses you going use, You can not change lenses in the helicopter not possible, to much dust and stuff flying around, also get the biggest capture card that you can afford, again if possible you don't want to open up any part of your camera while up there. IF you get motion sick easy you better take something to help you, if not, try not to shoot to long from on top to the bottom, take a brake. focus out to the horizon, than when you ready start shooting again. Last advice, Have fun! :)
