Hurricane Bill Swell

I was basically out all day shooting photo saturday. The swell came in pretty nice. I was out at CB for the morning and headed down to WB in the afternoon. Its sad that I can have as much fun shooting photos as being in the water. A pretty epic storm rolled in during the evening at Wrightsville, and luckily I had a plastic bag with me, because the bottom fell out just as I was about to head in. The photos of the storm can be found at the end of the slideshow. I’ve noticed that the quality of the photos are decreased in the slideshow for some reason, but there is 79 altogether. 1-34 are from Carolina Beach, and 35-79 are from Wrightsville. I lucked out at WB, Ben Bourgeois and friends were out there shredding at the jetty, so I got a lot of him, showing why he is one of Wrightsvilles most famed pros. Enjoy the photos!

Haven’t posted in a bit, I’ve been working hard on getting my website completed. Its quite a simple design, it will be more of a portfolio orientated website, concentrated more on the photos than the interactivity of the site. I’ve decided to stick with a basic HTML design (a little CSS and Javascript in there too). This will increase load times and will guarantee compatibility with all browsers. My goal is too shoot as many new photos as possible for each gallery, before launching, so it will probably be a month or so before I put it up. I’m going to keep the blog, as there will be a link to it on my main site, and the url will probably change to chriszachary.com/blog. If you have any tips or ideas feel free to let me know, chris@chriszachary.com.

In order to make this post less of a rant, heres a couple photos from yesterday. Both are of Owen Moffet.

Shot some photos of the waves today down at the north end of Carolina Beach. The light was little harsh and backlit, but I got a few winners. Click on either photo for a slideshow.
