August 27 2014 One the most powerful Hurricanes ever and one of the most exciting intense and frustrating days i've ever had shooting waves
After watching the forecasts and weather reports endlessly and hearing all the chatter and predictions everyone was going nuts, including me
After checking and double checking and checking all my camera gear again and again I couldn't sleep and was wishing it was morning so i could leave and head down to the beach. It's about a 45 minute drive to the Wedge from my house and when i finally got going in the dark i could see waves at Huntington. Not super huge but hard to tell just how big it was. The roads were quiet and semi empty and i was pretty stoked to be finally on my way. Now i should tell you that driving for 45 minutes makes me crazy trying not to get a speeding ticket or rear end another car while i'm craning my neck to get glimpses of the waves off Pacific Coast HWY.
Now the crazy starts when i got to Newport Beach there's a turn to get to the balboa Peninsula. Usually there is almost no cars heading to the beach predawn - everyone is all heading out going to work - well there was an endless line of cars coming over the bridge! 10 minutes later i get to The Wedge and pulled up L street hoping for a parking place. It was street sweeper day and no way was i going to park illegally if i could help it. I got lucky and found a spot big enough for two cars and pulled in. Whew! made it!
The sun wasn't up yet and i ran down to the beach and climbed up on L tower lifeguard station. I took a few shots and was watching hundreds of people arrive - people were literally pouring out onto the beach from every direction!
The crowd was already 10 people or more deep lining the beach front at the peak so i decided to stay put on the tower. That was good/bad idea. The salt spray in the air was so thick that all my shots are washed out and flat looking. Hmmm, yeah that was a bummer but what else can i say? ; )
So, you CAN write!!!
Not bothered by the washed out pictures if the story balanced it out!

What are your experiences with the other voting bots?
I hardly can pump my money around via minnowbooster. Most of the time it don't allow me to pay more than 0.05

I've done pretty good with the bots here
https://steembottracker.com/
You really do need to study all the things listed in the row there. It's not that hard to learn. I think many people just bid and don't look at the numbers. When they do that they often bid too much too late and then everyone who bid loses money. It isn't a highest bidder wins all. It's actually a team effort. Everyone makes a profit or everyone loses.
I could show you in 10 minutes on a computer in person
Here's a tip; Never bid when the suggested maximum bid is ZERO. Haha, seems obvious right? Well, people do it and screw everyone including themselves!

I know well that feeling of anxiety that produces to see a wave report like magicseaweed or surf forecast with predictions of epic days and perfect conditions. it's there when I get ready my camera and my table and I want to sleep early so that it arrives fast the next day ... then the indecision catches me if I surf first or I take pictures hahahaha there is always time for the 2 things.
I usually take pictures before entering the water and in that way I study the swell, the currents of return and the tides ... then I keep my camera and after a previous warm-up I go to the water ....
How good it is to be a surf photographer ...
Big and perfect Waves
Good photos, good work ...
