Today I started my day off with the surfers breakfast. Shortly after Etiene picked me up and we checked Albatross, The Point, and Magna Tubes and we decided to go to Seal Point again.
We surfed for a good two hours then grabbed a bite to eat in St Francis. I had a croissant type thing that had Thai chili chicken inside. It was pretty good!! I also had a latte to warm me up a bit.
Etiene took me back to camp and told me that he would pick me up in two hours for another session. In the meantime I took some pictures down by the water. I was trying to capture two things.
- A long exposure that would make the water look like mist (I accomished this)
- And second I wanted to capture the water moving (I did this but I think I would like to get a better shot)
For this I used my CPL which I believe cuts out 1 1/3 stops of light and my Big Stopper which cuts out 10 stops of light. I was shooting at f/22 at around 30 seconds but I varied the time and aperture during the shoot.
After that I had about 30 minutes till Etiene picked me and I woulda liked a nap but decided against it. When he picked me up we checked Magna Tubes and it wasn’t so great so he took me back to camp and I surfed Super Tubes again. I didn’t really catch anything special but I had a good time!!
Oh btw I almost forgot to mention that a huge pod of 30-50 dolphins swam next to and under me while at Supers. It was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced!!
I came back, showered off, stretched, then grabbed a bite to eat at Nina’s. I had the butternut squash soup and Mediterranean salad again. I was going to try something else but I saw someone else order the salad and that sealed the deal 🙂
