At a visit to my grandmother, I saw a little picture of myself. I took a photo of it with my macro lens.
It’s a self portrait… sort off.

Early morning on a Saturday I woke up to go to Mavericks Surf contest in Half Moon Bay. It was supposed to become a beautiful day with big waves rolling in on the beach. At around 7 we arrived at Half Moon Bay, just in time to get the sunrise over the bay. Check out these shots:
Too bad so many people got injured because of some wave decided to hit the beach where around 13 people were injured while trying to catch a view from the surfing. Read more:
The epic surf turned into a bone-crushing experience at the Mavericks Surf Contest Saturday as spectators got smacked by the massive swells. Two huge waves swept away fans watching the competition around 9 a.m., causing broken bones and other injuries to people standing on a seawall.
While the drama was playing out on the beach, luckily we had made the right choice of watching the event from the cliff. My first thoughts were that I could make better pictures from the cliffs, and now I’m sure I have better pictures made from the cliffs, as I probably would have been washed away from the beach. Plenty of people were trying to take a good shot from the cliffs, where the rising sun made their silhouettes great picture material.
One thing I know for sure, next time I’m going to rent that big 600 mm lens, as my 70-200 mm was not enough to get close. The bigger, the better for these long distances.
I only have one shot where I can see a surfer taking a turn on a wave. Here it is, can you spot the little puppet on the giant wave?
And wave after wave came rolling in, one bigger than the other.
It was a good day for me to get some more experience on what I can do with my camera. I took some more shots in and around Half Moon Bay while we were walking back. Next year, if there is a Mavericks Surfing contest, I will be there again on the cliffs. Then with a big fat 600mm lens!

Sometimes you whished you had checked the photograph before you ate the subject! In the case I’m going to describe you, it does not matter too much, as I can easily get more sushi for new photo’s. But if you don’t check your photo’s, you can be in for a surprise!
Tonight I got a bunch of fresh Sushi. And I didn’t only ate it, I took some really nice close up Macro shots from the Sashimi and the rolls. If only I had made sure my lens was lean prior to the snapping of multiple shots, I would have gotten some nice pictures of the raw fish.
Let this be a lesson for me! Always check your gear prior to your shooting. I’m ashamed already that there was a little hair on my lens. Who doesn’t keep their gear clean!!!
Here is one of the pictures of the sushi with the hair on the left side. Can you spot it…?

I tried to make a time lapse series of a burning Winnie The Pooh candle we had. However, I failed to set the lens on manual focus, so not all pictures are zoomed in at the same sharpness or focal length.

The picture has been made with a Canon 5D, and a 100 mm Macro lens. The specifics of the picture are:
- Exposure 0.3
- Aperture: f/2.8
- Focal length: 100 mm
- Iso speed: 100
So next time, if I want to make a time lapse of an object in the dark, using longer shutter time, I will set the lens on manual.
