Raves & Rants . . from Penzance

I love getting in the water to shoot surfing, it gives such a fresh perspective on what is really going on in the water.   Today was also fantastically bright, which helps with getting faster shutter speeds to freeze the action.  Porthleven today Freezing was the buzz word today, with a near zero air temperature and blocks of ice for feet after a long session swimming about in the water ensuring that hobbling across the barnacled reef afterwards was like stepping on red hot knives.  But a brilliant blue sky day with sparkling clear light and some great colours.

So it's New Year's Eve, let's hope the expected big freeze every surfer seems to be dreading doesn't bring Waves of Ice. These are from Sean Buckley's blog Check out this wakeboarding in St Mark's Square, Venice too, from the same place.
