Now and Then

Elouera Board riders club started with a bunch of guys that “Hung” on the concrete steps next to the Elouera dunny’s. In 1977 it was a prime spot, out of the cold westerlies winds , but in the morning sun,  and right near the entrance to the ladies toilets.  Mark Rohr seen here just returning from a surf.    Tim Vanderlaan photo.

Before Auto-Focus and Digital Cameras

Posted: July 13, 2016 at 11:31 am

Early 90’s saw the introduction of Auto focus cameras and lenses, prior to this it was manual focus which focusing and exposure was an art in itself. When digital cameras arrived film became almost obsolete over night.  No more changing rolls after 36 exposures now you could shoot as many surf shots as you wanted which was a huge bonus for water photographers.. Below Chris Stroh shooting Shark Island with one of the first 600mm auto focus Cannon  lens.
