A morning @ Newport beach.

A couple off days ago i went to photograph surfers at the Newport beach in the morning.
The last image are a "selfie". Shoot with a 16-35 @16mm on a 1Dx body.

Surfers @Huntington Beach.

The very first time i was going to try to photograph surfing. I was taken to Huntington beach by my friend Tadzio. We was a bit late. And the surfers was getting up from the water. It was then i took the picture below. 

Not so much of "action". But i fell in love with the place. And two yeas ago i tried again, at the same place. Still not happy with the result.

Now i gave it a third try today. The waves was a lot better. And i got more the kind of action images i had in mind.

Did not really like the light. Therefore i converted the images into B/W.

Hockey HV71 - Karlskrona

“The problem with thick skin is that it leaves you impervious to the sharpest of pins. Everything becomes dull. But without that sense of pain, there cannot be that sense of relief. Ultimately, the thickened skin leaves you numb, incapable of feeling the highs and lows of life. It leaves you rough like a rock and just as inanimate.”

To make this photo i used a Manfrotto lightning stand with an adapter and a ball head to attach the camera. This way i was able to elevate the camera about 4 meters. This was shoot with 1 1Dx mkII with the 24-70/2,L II USM. To be able to compose the image i attached the camera with the WFT-E6 WIFI adapter. Thru which i connected the camera with a app from Canon.

HV 7-1 vs. Skellefteå (Ice hockey).

Today i shoot my first "regular season" game in the major Swedish ice hockey league, for this season. The home team has the name "HV71". The won the game against Skellefteå with the numbers 7-1. So i guess that for right now they can be called HV 7-1.
