Timelapse time....

After a number of EPIC fails resulting in a once in a lifetime lost opportunity, I'm posting some work with I AM happy with.

With the failed attempts, it gives me a further sense of how hard it is to get things to all come together....

Enjoy the good, I'm undicided if I'll post the ugly but i'll see.....

test 2 from KMAN 5000 on Vimeo.

This was my first real succesfull attempt that I was happy to work with and put music to.
Shot @ ISO 1250, with 50mm prime, at f/10, 10 sec shutter, 30 sec intervals.
Music is from sampled Paris Wells - Goldie.

its late at night v2 from KMAN 5000 on Vimeo.

This is my second success. This one was shot off the back of 6hrs of my life I'd like back where I waited and shot close to 20gb of photos with minor to no success! (tip: don't shoot a sunset @ f/1.4) - annoyed the hell out of me. Anyways as the clip states its late at night when I shot, edited and completed this one ~ and I redeemed myself alittle.
Shot @ ISO 400, with 50mm prime, @ f/10, 20 sec shutter, 1 sec interval - with a little post production work
Music is sampled from Oliver Koletzki And Fran - Echoes

Bye for now....

Longie NE'r... 15th Oct 2010....

Friday.... ahhh what a way to start your weekend with a bad ass NE'r!.... check it out, after sailing for 1.5hrs on a 5m in what was clear sub 5m weather, I had to take a rest and took some photos with what little light was still available at the end of the day....

 

Half mast to logo high DTL at longie anyone???....

Bungan again....

I've been out windsurfing the last week as wild weather hit sydney, truely awesome stuff. I took a number of photo's that i'll get round to sorting and posting soon. But quickly, I got out to Bungan today with the lads to christen a new board built for a mate. The conditions looked managable, and it was rather unpredictable what you'd get. Massive set coupled with some nice easy one's. I went out in the bodyboard as I'm waiting for my new surf board which should be ready next weekend!. Till then enjoy. Oh and if anyone is chasing a copy of some of the photos posted here or wants to get in touch email me at 5000.kman@gmail.com

More to come you can be sure of that!!!!

Bungan - spring is definately here...

This weekend saw a mate celebrate in style his birthday, with sunday being a recovery day I headed to Bungan for a surf. Needless to say it hit the spot, with nice 3 ftr's, with some locals shreading the place to pieces and me and my mates getting that satisfying surf feeling. After curing my weekend soreness with my own surf I grabbed my camera and took some snaps... the best of the lot follow, with Birthday Boy Dan scoring a nice wave at the end!

 The locals cutting up what swell there was very nicely indeed

Happy Days Dave....

A nice 3ftr to satisfy Dan on his final wave for the day.......
