For the past 10 years I've been testing different settings, camera bodies and lenses while shooting surf. I'd go home and tediously compare images and why certain things worked and others did not while gaining knowledge along the way that I'm sharing with you.
One of the most difficult parts of learning photography/videography is learning the terminology. Then to apply it and understand it on a whole other level is a huge next step. Honestly, it's something I really struggled with. Mainly because people teaching the concepts at the time didn't explain things in an easy to understand way. I want to change that!
This is my extremely comprehensive guide that gives away all of my tips, tricks and secrets to have the best settings possible while shooting surfing in the water with a surf housing.
