[charleslim]

took some pictures and shot some videos of skimboarders off east coast mac dolands, no swimming this time. http://www.seastories.sg/feedme/cilents/slideshow/470.html
link to video and more pictures - note that the video is encoded in SWF (flash) and it freezes at some point of the video, but if you wait it will continue along fine.

Brilliant work charles. Your website is great and a pleasure to view. Any pointers on how to capture moments esp with so much water around you to worry about? What equipment are you using. Would really love to work with you.

Just a question, Are those surfers always there ? as in is this an event or something ?

thx - still camera - I use a 1ds mark2 with 70-200 IS f2.8
for the video, SpeedCAM G2 with a Nikon f2 (can't remember ) 300 . I shot that with a Micheal Chua (very talented DOP + friend) We pushed the camera to shot at 500 fps and 200 fps when the sun was going down.

yes the skimboarders were there all the time during the holidays!

Hi Charles. Would like to know did you use a water casing for your 1D, and if you did where did you get it? Thanks
