Well, whaddya think?

At least he wasn't paying big money for the model - but on the other hand, the photo shoot did end up costing him a couple of pretty good bruises and scared the **** out of me for a few seconds. I also took a bit of a beating hanging out in a tide pool that was awash from the swell.

Anyway, this was a week ago yesterday when that front came through with high winds, sideways rain and a fair swell.

Right on cue, second cast with the new Golden Mullet and Bam! fish on - too bad it came unbuttoned in the rocks with the surge but it still looked good on film - more to come when I get time.

Nicely done Joe :btu:

A couple more...

Joe's girlfriend will like the last one, anyway :hihi:

Where's the white bucket :tooth: ?

Looks good :btu:

I bet he was wearing his Old Spice.....

They do look good though, Nice Pics

Joe.
Don't lie.
I know there is a pogie head in your pocket :D
Great shots!

Thanks, TDF - I was using a manual Nikon FM, no motor drive and a 300 mm Nikkor...AND FILM :bshake:

It was raining sideways and I had rainwater pouring off my sou'wester hat onto the camera body and lens while I was waist deep in my waders and dry-top in a tidal pool geting knocked on my ass and taking salt spray over my head - heh heh heh, don't let the gray hair fool ya.

Hey, try that with your fancy-schmancy digital cameras, you guys :rude:

So, you ask yourself, what does the K.B. stand for :huh:

KA-BOOM

Just after that shot my buddy Joe got lifted off his feet by a large wave, slammed on his butt and hydro-ed down the flat rocks like a Water Wiz ride - I'm still cleaning out my waders over that one, I watched it all through the telephoto lens and was so freaked out I couldn't shoot a single frame of it. :hs:

It's the first time I've ever had somebody else's life flash before my eyes.

I wasn't gonna post this part of it but I started to think I should. Just goes to show, Korkers and actually knowing what you're doing doesn't mean squat, especially at that particular UDL.

I am gonna pick up a safety line with a float attached in a throw-bag - and keep it on my person in the future.

I %$%$%$%$ you not.

And what were Joe's last words before we went out at that spot?

"Boy, wouldn't it be funny if somebody looked at the pictures and said, hey, that's the last photo anybody ever took of him."

Well, like they say, a good scare will teach you a helluva lot more than good advice.

Hey Joe, BTW, don't let Ma see this - she'll beat us both :fishslap:

And if your little brother tells on us, he's had it :smash:

Crazy story Crafty...

nice shots

man that waters big behind joe in the first one

that was the day before I was there, right

Hey, isn't that Peter Townshend of the WHO? He should have a guitar in his hands. Make a great album cover.

DZ

Love, Reign o'er Me. Looks like Dr. Jimmy

Hey, try that with your fancy-schmancy digital cameras, you guys :rude:

Wouldn't be a problem w/ a Pentax K10D/K20D/K200D w/ DA* lens. Weathersealed, so it'll survive rain, fine silica in canyons, and waterfalls w/o any problems. Surprised your FM survived :tm:

Nice work guys!

...Surprised your FM survived...

:rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:

It's been through worse - and if the FM fails, I've still got the F-2's :rude:

I didn't know Pete Townshend fished in heavy surf.


Nice!



nevermind, DZ beat me to it

Yup - in fact, I used this song as background music in part of a slide show I did back in the '80's of the Hurricane Bob swell at Ruggles Avenue off Cliff Walk - it was 12-15+ with offshores - looked like Haleiwa :)

Geez, he does look like Pete Townsend - except Joe plays sax in a blues band.

No wonder the babes are all over the guy - well, that's what Joe tells me, anyway :hihi:

Younger looks more like him. I heard he smashes his rod after every outing.

His brother told me it's all the guys that dig him at gigs :smash:

Oh man, you guys are doggin' Joe something unmerciful - I'd be carefull if I was you, if you get his Portagee up, it won't be pretty :hidin:

I wouldn't worry about getting his Irish up, though - everybody knows that the Irish can't...

Ah, nevermind, that's one is just waaaay too easy....

The martin boys know how I really feel.
Just trying to start some sibling rivalry :D

Besides;
