Yep, it’s pretty wild and that’s pretty much the idea. When you are 1 to 2 feet away from your subject in moving water, crowded surf conditions and raging rip currents, you need to be seen. It’s pretty much up to me to figure out where they will go before they get there but stuff happens so highly visible attire as well as function help a lot. Loving my custom Billabong 4/3 graphene suit and my DMC fins (they float and that’s a huge upgrade!).
4/3 Billabong custom suit w/DMC fins, Aquatech Reflex housing for the canon 5D Mark IV, 70-200mm canon lens. Thanks so much to my dear friend and fellow photographer Kevin Hedgecock for the shot!
Large for when using wetsuit boots…
Medium for bare feet and different colored so I can remember the difference. This shit happens when you approach the ripe old age of 70!
My new 16-35mm f/2.8 L III with the aquatech dome port for super wide close up shots two to four feet away.
