Surf Footage with Canon XHA1 & Letus Extreme

Lyall Bay, Wellington, New Zealand 2009.

The Planets aligned and I got a unique kind of angle to shoot from (nearly side-on to waves), a south facing coast (sun sets along wave) a southerly swell and a fresh northerly offshore breeze to get some interesting shots.
Shot with a Canon XHA1 and Letus Extreme with a Canon FD 300mm f2.8 lens.

 

Sandy Bay, Northland New Zealand 2008.

This was my first test shot with a 300mm Canon FD lens (f2.8) with my Letus Extreme 35mm adaptor on my Canon XHA1. This lens is seriously heavy with the adaptor, and looks more like some sort of military weapon. It's fantastic if you need to scare pesky children away.
