Hurricane Bill Swell

August 24, 2009

I was basically out all day shooting photo saturday. The swell came in pretty nice. I was out at CB for the morning and headed down to WB in the afternoon. Its sad that I can have as much fun shooting photos as being in the water. A pretty epic storm rolled in during the evening at Wrightsville, and luckily I had a plastic bag with me, because the bottom fell out just as I was about to head in. The photos of the storm can be found at the end of the slideshow. I’ve noticed that the quality of the photos are decreased in the slideshow for some reason, but there is 79 altogether. 1-34 are from Carolina Beach, and 35-79 are from Wrightsville. I lucked out at WB, Ben Bourgeois and friends were out there shredding at the jetty, so I got a lot of him, showing why he is one of Wrightsvilles most famed pros. Enjoy the photos!

Carolina Beach State Park

Here’s a slideshow I compiled from the last couple of days. I’ve spending a lot of time hiking and exploring through the park (its in my backyard) and I think I’m going to continue to carry the camera a long. On this particular trip, I was actually hoping to run into some deer, so I brought along the 300 milly. I’m glad I did, because this Owl swooped down over my head and perched itself in a tree in front of me. Never did get a shot of a deer though. It’ll happen though, oh yes, it will happen.

Only made it out for a short period of time on friday. The swell kinda of dwindled out saturday and sunday. But here are a handful of shots from friday morning.
