Aloha,
Check it out, the first session with the new 500. I’m left eye wonky from so much shooting today. And while I am happy with it I am also dissapointed with Canon for I fear I have to send it back. HOW can a lens of that magnitude be passed through quality control with dust and some form of residue on the INNER element. YES, the inner element meaning it is not my fault & they must therefore give me a new one. I don’t have the time nor patience to dilly dally in the ally and let them ‘repair’ it.
Other than that it is as sharp as a glass cutting nipple in Alaska.
Big swell expected for Friday, now (A) do I set myself the possibility to work on Saturday which is the last day of the waiting period which means Haleiwa will be cooking which means the rest of the North Shore will most likely be cooking and thus by working for a few dollars run the chance of missing the free surf money shots OR (b) Say sorry and shoot the free surfing. Are you thinking what I’m thinking ??
Oh yes this is Jamie O’Brien, the chap who won the event I was covering in Jan/Feb when I was last in Hawaii. Never did I think I would make it to Hawaii and here I am twice in one year.
Till tomorrow, as we say in Hawaii, go away rain let the ocean turn blue and waves pound the shores.
Regards
