Windsurf & Kite Session
I took a couple of hours on Friday afternoon to shoot with an old friend of mine, Whitey . It was a pretty exceptional day for wind and sun, it was almost hard to believe when I arrived at the beach, that I was in Clacton.
For me, I wanted to try out an old, very cheap, manual Soligor lens shooting some action. The wind and direction made keeping the long lens stable a bit of a challenge, especially given the lens length and that I wasn’t using a rail set up. I put this short edit together for fun, from some of the footage, with all except the wide shots at the beginning on the Soligor. Whitey has some nice pics on his page too, so it’s worth taking a look there.
Mountain Race clip ( Cenise Bargy )
I was back in Haute Savoie last weekend and amongst other things, shot a ski mountain race, which I’ve done regularly for the last few years. The shooting conditions were way far from ideal, with rain falling at the start line in the morning.
The race, like a good meal, is in 3 courses. 2 ski mountaineering courses combined with one cross country ski course. Competitors take part as relay teams ( one for each course ) or, as individuals completing all three! It’s primarily a fun event, but still a tough undertaking, especially with knee breaking wet snow. Even with the conditions, spirits were high for everyone involved and even though filming it was quite demanding, I had a lot of fun.
Here is a highlights reel from the day. If you want to find out more about the race, or watch other videos from other years, then visit cenisebargy.fr ( in French )
December sunrise
I was out on the beach yesterday morning, shooting some stock footage and managed to get out in time for the sunrise. I also managed to get a few photos that I’m pleased with, though I did have problems with lens flares. Footage to come..
And a short edit from yesterday morning. Thanks for watching.
