I will succeed amazingly at this when "I" choose to stop.. not because someone else is telling me to
NorthernSkye has written 17 entries about this goal
AGAIN. I have made the choice to just stop period…
can't say it's been difficult, I hope as a result I have lost some weight:)
at work the boss came in and offered us all a drink at the end of the night- the other girls had a vodka or a kahlua (or both) and I declined:) Was interesting that I didn't try to find an excuse to have one.. but I didn't really feel like one:)
My eldest daughter and her guy came over to Jam for a while.
Dare played the drums, Ernst played Bass and sometimes guitar and Tasia and I sang. Everyone was drinking but me, and ya know what? it didn't bother me. I honestly thought it might- but it didn't:)
I think I have discovered that my problem with alcohol (if there indeed is a problem) is that once I start – I don't like to stop until I am done. Period. Whether it is one glass cause I am out for lunch with a friend or it is a bottle and a half cause I am in front of the fire pit and I just haven't reached the state of "holy crap I can't drink anymore and I'm done". I dunno- trying to figure it all out- it's kinda been an interesting experience to look at my habits and explore them more closely;)
Been a week now, and I did suck a good job of it last time that I haven't really been in the mood to have a glass of wine… lol
6 more weeks till Yule:) and if we take Sorcha to the bar for her 18th BD next week I get to be the DD! Dare usually does, so this time I can let him take the night off and cut loose with a beer and his girls at the pub:)
43things needs a FAIL tab;) lol
ok.. gonna adjust this goal to make it read no drinking till Yule!
well this is a bust again…
I went three weeks no drinking. Then Dare and I went on a road trip. We were staying at a 4-5 star resort in the mountains that was just beautiful and I had a blue rare steak (really yummy) so I had wine with supper.
Then a week later it was my birthday and I had wine…
seem to need to drink- or even miss drinking. I definately like it- and I find when I do it I just like to do a good job…lol If it's not around I don't even think about it. Interesting
don't miss it. We'll see how it goes till the next BBQ:)

Yah.. Bought some Doffs with my "free" test points... I'm really liking the Doffs...
Nay... "shakes his head in disbelief"
Overpriced or what ??... 220cp, for a pack of 7... that have no mention of Account-wide unlock or per Toon.... Are you guys for real ??
I have always been an advocate of "hold on & wait & see what happens when this hits Holodeck".
Except this time...
With eigtht active toons on the go, it'll cost me 1,760cp to equip them with a pack each... or almost FOUR and a half months worth of my Stipend..... This has got to be the biggest "oops" in pricing ever... I'm hoping this is just an oversight - misprice - or omission of "account-wide-unlock"... If it isn't then guess who
be buying any when they arrive on the Holodeck C-store ??

We All Scream for ... Eye Cream?
Nov 21, 2002 (Updated Dec 8, 2002)
Popular Products in Personal CareThe Bottom Line An eye cream can help you prevent damage, and enhance your current appearance. If you decide to use them, good luck finding the right one for you!
I didnt know anything about eye creams when I first began shopping for them, but after talking to a lot of sales assistants, and doing a little research, I did learn a few things. So I thought I would share what I learned.
Who Needs Eye Cream?
Im in my 20s, and have barely gotten past worrying about acne. But now that Ive put acne behind me (more or less), its time to worry about wrinkles!
The skin around your eyes is very delicate its very thin skin, and does not produce any oil. So it is one of the first areas on your face that begin to show age. Even if you dont have any wrinkles yet, it can still be a good idea to protect that area so that you can prevent future damage.
What is Eye Cream?
An eye cream is a cream that has been tested by ophthalmologists to be safe to use near your eyes: product claims often say that the cream matches the pH level of your tears. They also typically do not contain any fragrance, and tend to be more emollient than regular moisturizers.
There Are (essentially) Three Kinds of Eye Creams:
(1) Day Creams: One type of cream may be referred to as day creams, because they help enhance your appearance and make you look better during the day! They are typically used to depuff eyes, and to reduce the appearance of dark circles. (On the instructions, they will specify that this cream is to be applied in the morning, only.)
Also, day creams are often gels, rather than creams.
(a) Depuffing: Some eye creams contain a depuffing agent. Examples of depuffing agents are: caffeine, arnica, chamomile, and cucumber.
Your eyes get puffy after you wake up when the skin around your eyes become bloated with water while you are sleeping. And since depuffing agents like caffeine work by slightly dehydrating your skin(*), you should not rely on them to help with your wrinkle control/prevention needs.
(b) Dark Circles: Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by broken capillaries or lack of sleep.
It would appear that there really isnt any cream that diminishes dark circles on contact. A short-term solution to dark circles would be a good concealer, rather than a cream. The best long-term solutions seem to be to get adequate sleep, and to use a retinol-based cream at night if your dark circles are caused by broken capillaries.
(c) Sunscreen: As everyone knows, sun damage is the worst when it comes to aging your skin. So sunscreen is always a good idea. Not a lot of eye creams seem to contain sunscreen, however. I guess it's not necessary, because most people use a separate sunscreen lotion for their entire face.
(2) Night Creams: Another type of cream may be referred to as night creams, because they help repair your skin and prevent damage while you are sleeping. (On the instructions, they will specify that this cream is to be applied at night, only.)
Night creams that fight wrinkles often contain AHAs (alpha hydroxy acid) or retinol. Creams containing either ingredient should be used at night, for the following reasons:
(a) AHAs can decrease the effectiveness of your sunscreen.(*)
(b) Retinol is less effective in the sun, and can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.(*)
(3) Plain Vanilla Creams: This is kind of a catch-all category for creams that arent specifically day or night creams, but just provide extra moisture.
As Ive explained above, some creams that depuff can also dehydrate your skin, and should therefore be used only during the day. And some creams that contain retinol or AHA should also be avoided during the day, because they can breakdown your sunscreen. So using the wrong type of cream can be counter-productive to your eye care needs.
But there are also creams that can be used both morning and night, which I will call plain vanilla creams. (On the instructions, they will specify that this cream can be applied both morning and night.) They are usually just very emollient creams for moisturizing your eyes, and do not contain any of the more intense wrinkle-fighting ingredients (e.g., retinol, AHA), or any of the depuffing agents which can dehydrate your skin.
A NOTE About the Three Kinds of Eye Creams:
Please note that these three categories are very general categories of eye creams. Depending on which brand you shop, there will be eye creams which target more specific needs, like improving sagging, dullness, or providing more lift. Any given brand will likely have at least two different types, and can have more than six different types of eye creams.
Also, none of what I've stated above seem to be hard-and-fast rules. I've seen creams containing retinol that instruct you to use it in the day time, and creams containing caffeine that instruct you to use it at night. Some creams contain both types of ingredients.
It can be confusing, but I've found that it's helpful to know some of these guidelines so you can ask a sales assistant more specific questions.
How to Use Eye Creams:
Everyone Ive talked to seems to agree that you gently pat a small amount of cream onto the skin under your eyes using your ring finger. The important thing is to pat the cream on, rather than rub, to avoid tugging on the skin.
Ive been told that you should begin from the inside corner of your eye, and move outwards, OR move from the outside corner of your eye, and inwards towards your nose. I dont know which way is better, so I would say to do it however you like. (I tend to go outwards, myself.)
Should you put eye cream on your lids? Ive been told that you should not, and Ive also been told that you could, but only at night. I can see how eye cream on your lids can interfere with your makeup during the day time, so I would avoid that. Some creams specify that you should not put the cream on the lids, and some creams say that you should, so I think it just depends on what cream you are using.
Are Eye Creams Expensive Scams?
Ive heard it said that eye creams are a scam by the cosmetic industry that they are basically the same thing as regular moisturizers, but in a smaller package, and much more expensive.(**)
Whether you believe this or not is a personal choice. Ive personally come to enjoy eye creams, simply because they feel nice, and using them makes the area around my eyes feel more soothed and comfortable. It also makes me feel good that I may be preventing future damage.
However, most eye creams are indeed very expensive. Expect to pay a lot for a very small amount (typically 0.5 oz.) Even drugstore brands like Neutrogena or LOreal cost around $10-20.
How Much Will It Cost?
- The cheapest eye creams Ive found are made by St. Ives. They have 2 types of eye creams (0.5 oz.) for $8.99 at drugstore.com. They even have a stress gel for face & eyes that costs $2.99 for 4 oz.! If you want a soothing gel for your eyes, thats probably the cheapest option, next to using ice cubes or cucumber slices.
- On the other end of the spectrum, Sisley's Sisleya Eye Cream is the most expensive eye cream Ive seen. ($150 for 0.5 oz. Yikes!) Other pricey brands are: Darphin, Cr�me de la mer, and la prairie (my mom's favorite) which vary from $70-120.
(This leads me to conclude that the headquarters of the Eye Cream Mafia is located in a cave somewhere in the French Alps region.)
- Most department store brand eye creams cost around $25-50.
So, eye creams are very pricey items. However, you do use it on a very small area, so a small 0.5 oz. amount can last you a long time.
How Should You Pick an Eye Cream?
The first step is to decide what kind of cream you want. Do you want a cream that minimizes puffiness or dark circles? Do you want a cream to fight the wrinkles you have? Do you want to prevent future damage?
The next step is to decide what brand you want to buy. Most people already have a couple of favorite skin care brands, and most brands make eye creams, so thats always a good place to start. (And also, read some Epinions reviews!)
*A Tip: if you keep your eye cream in your fridge, it feels good when you put it on!
Potential Problems:
There is always the potential for irritation, when youre putting something so close to your eye. So I would definitely urge caution, and to stop using any cream immediately if you feel any irritation or pain.
There is also the chance that eye creams can cause whiteheads to develop on your skin, because they tend to be very rich, and can therefore clog your pores more easily. Hopefully this wont happen to you, but if it does, I can only suggest that you stop using your cream and try a different one.
Other Eye Care Products:
There are also eye serums and eye masks which target various problems, as well. I havent used any of them, however, and dont know very much about them.
*~* My Eye Cream Adventures *~*:
What I want in an eye cream is just plain, good-old moisture. Most eye creams claim to help with wrinkles, dark circles, or puffiness none of which Im specifically interested in. Surprisingly, there are relatively few "plain vanilla" eye creams that dont make those fancy claims.
The following is a list of eye creams that Ive tried in the past, and a quick-n-dirty review about each (Sometime in the future I may write separate reviews about eye creams that are listed in Epinions. If I do that, I will reference those reviews in this essay.)
NOTE: How I figure out how moisturizing a cream is After using the cream for at least one week, I stop using the cream for a day, and wash my face. That is when I can tell whether the area around my eyes have improved, and have become smoother, softer, etc.
1. Clinique All About Eyes
Cost: $26.00 0.5 oz.
It contains caffeine, and claimed to diminish puffiness, darkness, and fine lines. It was a light gel-cream that went on very smooth, and felt nice.
I didnt see any change in my appearance. It didnt give me all that much moisture.
Bottom Line:
I still use the cream when Im sleep-deprived, and my eyes feel like theyre falling out of my head. I keep it in the fridge, and its a nice wake-me-up. But I dont think Ill buy it again when I run out.
2. Kiehls Creamy Eye Treatment
Cost: $22.50 0.5 oz.
It contains avocado oil. Even the cream itself is avocado-green, and felt rich like an avocado. Cute. It is a very moisturizing cream. It is also one of the cheaper creams from a department store brand.
It leaves a shiny slick after you pat it on. The slick disappears after a few minutes when the cream sinks into your skin, but it wasnt the best for daytime makeup application.
But after using the cream for a couple of weeks, I noticed that this cream made my eyelids itch. I think I may be allergic to some ingredient in this cream. This is my third Kiehls purchase, and all three have given me problems they are good products that just didnt work for me.
Bottom Line:
This irritated my eyes. I returned it to the store, and I wont be buying it again. I think this cream is a good choice for many people, however.
3. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Eye Cream
Cost: $12.00~15.00 0.5 oz.
This cream is relatively inexpensive, and very easy to find. Every drugstore Ive been to carries it. I also like it that it comes in a tube.
It contains AHA, which can hurt! When I used this cream, it just burned not my eyes, but the skin around it. The burning feeling did not fade after a few minutes, and I was very uncomfortable. I had to wash it off.
Bottom Line:
I think this cream is a great option if you want AHA in your eye cream. It would also be helpful if youve used AHA in your regular face products before (such as the Healthy Skin face lotions). But if, like me, youve never used any all-over AHA product before, I wouldnt recommend that you start your AHA experience with an eye cream.
For AHA use in general: one suggestion Ive heard that you should ease into it by using it every three nights, and then every two nights ... and so on. Also, try first putting it on the inside of your wrist or arm, and see if you can feel the stinging.
4. Est�e Lauder Advanced Night Recovery
Cost: $45.00 0.5 oz.
This product was voted the Best Eye Cream in the October 2002 Allure magazine. Its a light, gel-cream, with a citrus-y, almost sour scent. It sunk in well, and moisturized my eye area.
Despite the fact that it is called Night Recovery, the Sales Assistant assured me that this cream can be used in the day time, and that its for all types of skin. She also told me that its a great all-around eye cream, because it is a combination of many of the Est�e Lauder eye products, like Uncircle and Unline, and that its just chock-full of good stuff.
Once again, there was some stinging. But it fades after a minute or so, and it didnt really bother me.
Bottom Line:
This is a good eye cream. And if youve had good luck with Est�e Lauder products in the past, this is a good option. I didnt, however, think that it was worth the extra money for me, since I just want straight-up moisture.
I would highly recommend this product to those who are dealing with wrinkles, but do not want to use a retinol or AHA product.
5. Biotherm Densit� Yeux
Cost: $30.00 0.5 oz.
It is a cream for aging/mature skin. The Densit� line claims to firm your skin with the use of yeast extract.
It felt like dough, and after it dried, it flaked off. When I rubbed the area, the cream rolled off my skin into little chunks. Blech. (I guess its the yeast?)
Bottom Line:
This is the worst eye cream I have tried so far. It just looked and felt yucky. It was also my first Biotherm purchase. Although Ive tried samples of some of their cleansers, and liked them, Ive been so bummed out by this experience that I probably wont buy another Biotherm product ever again.
To be fair, however, Biotherm does make six types of eye creams, and not all of them will have this same problem, and some of them may be the right one for you. But I was really disappointed in this one. Its rare that I think a product is bad for everyone, but this product really stinks. Stay away!
6. Shiseido Benefiance Revitalizing Eye Cream
Cost: $42.50 0.5 oz.
This is also a cream for aging/mature skin. It is very moisturizing, and it didnt give me whiteheads.
Im a great fan of Shiseido products, especially their Pureness and The Skincare lines. Ive tried several different skincare lines over the years, and Shiseido always gives me the best all-around results. Unfortunately for me, Shiseido does not offer any plain-vanilla eye cream. They have 3 kinds of eye creams that are each targeted for wrinkle-control.
It was just way too heavy. If there is such a thing as too much moisture, this is it.
Bottom Line:
I think this is an excellent eye cream for super-dry skin. And by super-dry, I mean, dry like Death Valley. It is very rich and emollient. My skin is on the dry side, and I always do well with products made for dry skin. So I never thought Id think any cream/lotion was too-moisturizing, but that was how this felt.
I would heartily recommend this product for people with really dry skin. It was too much for me, but if a lot of moisture is what you want, this cream will do a great job.
7. DDF Nourishing Eye Cream
Cost: $37.00 1 oz.
I love this cream so far. It has become one of my skin care staples. Its light, but also very moisturizing. And I think the cost is really great, since you get a nice 1 oz. jar that is twice the size of most eye creams.
This product is not widely available. Even some local spas that offer DDF products often dont carry the eye creams.
You can buy it online (beauty.com has it), or your local Sephora (thats where I buy mine). Im big on sniffing, touching, and feeling a product, especially when buying it for the first time. I wish this cream was easier to find.
Bottom Line:
I really like this cream. I think its a good, basic cream for anyone who just want some "plain vanilla" eye cream for moisture, and a good starter product for younger people who are using eye cream for the first time.
*~* *~* *~*
Well, thats what Ive learned about eye creams. Whether an eye cream is a necessity for your skin care routine is a personal choice. Its not a basic step like cleansing or moisturizing, and its not something that everyone seems to use. Some people are perfectly satisfied with using their regular moisturizer around their eyes instead of using a separate eye cream.
But if youve decided that you would like to use an eye cream, I hope that I was able to help. I was pretty clueless when I began looking into eye creams, but now I know a little more.
(I intend to periodically update this review, as I learn more about this topic.)
Thank you for reading!

Can't recommend this house enough...
We spent an unforgettable week in your comfortable house. A beautiful, enchanted landscape which takes your breath away.
The area is near a big number of tourist attractions and natural beauty for sightseeing! So a perfect place if you love both nature and culture.
A privilege to be able to spend a few quality days in what is nothing short of a "home from home". Very comfortable.
I would definitely recommend this and have rebooked to return in the summer...
What a wonderful property. We all had a super time.
Lovely house, great owners!

The Monmouthshire region
The southern end of the Brecon Beacons National Parl but also on the edge of industrial South Wales.
So you have country walking and cycling for all abilities, country activities such as fishing ( on the world famous Rivers Usk and Wye) and shooting all combined with the history of the coal and steel industries of South Wales, including Big Pit mining museum and the Iron Works in the World heritage Site of Blaenavon ( as seen on television programmes such as "Coal House" and "Time Team" And yet we are less than an hour from Wales' capital city, Cardiff with all the attractions of a modern city. Similarly, you can reach the renowned beaches of Swansea and the Mumbles in less than an hour.
Abergavenny is a small market town that was a key spot on the old drovers' paths. It has the usual suspects of national shopping chains as well as loads of interesting independent shops catering for all interests. There are loads of wonderful places to eat and drink - with Michelin-starred chefs, fine wines (we even have Sugar Loaf Vinetads here, producing beautiful wines), and plenty of local real ales within easy reach. And all this in stunning valleys scenery where you can see mountains, rolling hills and winding river valleys all from the same place - gloious
There are plenty of activities - sporting, tourism, historical - or just come and relax.

"Excellent accommodation near Abergavenny"
Great venue for a 60th family birthday weekend, catering for all ages, we had a 4 month bay to a 60 year old, plenty of space and the best equipped rental I have ever experienced., all you need to t… More
Thanks for that Rhodri - just glad that the house made your mum's celebration an occasion to remember.
It's also good to know that we haven't oversold any aspect of the house - cosy enough to for all to be together, but spacious enough to be on your own for the odd quiet moment.
Will be in touch.
See you soon

"Amazing house"
The house was lovely and the views breath taking.Lovely family home.We arrived to find lovely welsh cheese, butter and a bowl of fruit from the owner. This was a lovely thing to do.Thank you for the… More
Thank you to everyone,not just for these kind words but for the wonderful comments in the Visitors' Book too. It is much appreciated by everyone at Bryn yr Haul, as was you having spent the last morning of your weekend away cleaning and tidying - a huge help, thank you
The card was but a little something - just wish it had brought more of a result! Hopefully, the relaxed atmosphere and comfort of the house meant that everyone was better equipped to face the rigours of the weekend.
It would be great to see you all again - and maybe you'll get the chance to see more of this beautiful part of heaven!
Thanks and regards

"Great for Get-togethers"
Bryn yr Haul is a comfortable and spacious house for a family get-together. Our party of ten enjoyed gathering for meals around the huge dining table, the large sofas in the lounge easily accommodate… More
Thank you once more for these wonderful comments - it is always much appreciated. Sometimes you love a place so much it is hard to see the problems with it, so it is great to have such positive feedback from all our visitors. Even where things haven't been quite perfect for our guests, the house wins over everyone.
It is hard, even with the help of a professional photographer, sometimes to describe adequately the airy, spacious atmosphere of the house. There is so much room to enjoy a quiet moment away from the madding crowd, to share time with the local wildlife, maybe even with a glass of your favourite tipple!
Yet, when it's time to be together - perhaps for that special celebration - the house is snug enough for everyone to be cosy and comfy.
Come and see for yourselves!
Thanks again

"Excellent house"
We were 9 adults with 2 children and a baby and in no way did we feel squashed in the lovely spacious accommodation. Excellently equipped ...the only fault we could find was that there seemed to be no… More
Thank you all for another marvellous review - it is great to know that all our efforts are worthwhile.
A couple of apologies - we hadn't noticed the lack of serving spoons ( probably because my mother just dished it up on the plate and I ate it!).
However we appreciate the feedback and have corrected that omission already.
As for the weather, you certainly drew the short straw but I have to confess I have not yet found the controls for the rain - but I shall keep looking!
You are right though, the garden is a wonderful place to sit out, enjoy the local wildlife, the stunning scenery and let the cares of the world fade away.
Thanks again everyone - if there is anything else you can suggest, please let us know - we want it to be perfect for when you caome back next time!

Thank you very much for this. We try to provide an all round service, as well as just somewhere to stay - it seems we managed that this time. Great news. But then it's easy with everything that is great in these parts. See you all again soon! Cheers

"Spacious, cosy and well located weekend getaway"
I spent my 25th birthday here with 11 friends and we all had a fantastic time. Plenty of room for everyone to park, spacious bedrooms, modern kitchen, large dining room, log-burning fires and games room meant this weekend was always going to be a success. I would recommend any large group to stay in a house such as this and I will definitely be returning in the future.
That's great that you had such a great time at the house and that it helped to make your birthday celebrations a time to remember.
It would be wonderful to see you all again - perhaps for longer next time so that you can really take in all that there is to do in this beautiful part of the world. Thanks and regards

"Spot on for a weekend in Wales"
Bryn Yr Haul was the perfect house for our group of nine to stay for the weekend. The location is beautiful and perfectly placed (about 10 mins from Abergavenny) for enjoying the incredible countryside and local pubs.
The owner, Mike, is a lovely man who was there to meet us when we arrived and had even stoked up the wood-burners so the house was toasty from the off. It was more than spacious for our needs and meticulously clean. In particular, the kitchen is well-equipped for catering for large numbers and the dining room sat everyone easily in style. The living room is very cosy and all the bedrooms are very comfortable and spacious. The games room is the cherry on top of the cake, and we spent hours playing darts, pool, air hockey, etc - a fantastic addition. It was a cold, rainy January weekend and so we were not able to use the terrace and garden, but it looks superb and would be great in the summer.
All in all, Bryn Yr Haul is fantastic. Highly highly recommend.
Great news that everyone enjoyed themselves so much. The setting and surrounding countryside are stunning and there is so much going on for everyone's taste - a great base for all sorts of activities.
And if you're looking just to get away from it all, you can do that here too - the house is well away from the hubbub of towns and main roads, but close enough for all amenities. There is plenty of space to be on your own and enjoy some quiet "you" time - especially in the Summer, sitting out on the terrace or in the mature gardens.
Thank you for your kind words and we hope to see you all again.

"Just wonderful!"
My friends and I were having a little reunion as we hadn't seen each other since graduating university 6 months ago and this cottage was perfect. It's spacious, cosy, well furnished and we all commented after our first night about what an amazing night's sleep we'd had - It was so comfortable. The location is great too - feels slightly like the middle of nowhere and yet so close to pubs and shops. Would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone!
We're so glad that you all enjoyed yourselves at Bryn yr Haul. It is "in the country" a little bit but is just two minutes off the trunk road running across the Heads of the Valleys, with easy access to so many places of beauty and interest and close to all the usual amenities.
We haven't tried the beds ourselves yet - but if they keep getting this sort of praise, we might have to! We would both confess to dozing off on the sofas downstairs mind!
Thank you everyone and come back soon!

"Lovely birthday weekend"
Three generations of my family (ages ranging from 1-71) stayed here for a weekend for a joint birthday celebration. The house was perfect with plenty of room for us to spread out, the children were very impressed with the games room while the grown ups enjoyed the cosy sitting room with log burner and plenty of comfy sofas. The dining room, with another log burner, comfortably sat our 10 people and the large kitchen was satisfactorily equipped - though my son is a chef - and when I enquired about a large cafetiere Mike made sure there was one. The fruit, bread, butter, cheese and milk provided was a lovely welcoming touch and was much appreciated. Our dog was made as welcome as we all were with towels provided and the lovely garden to run around in. The location, though not an issue for us, is good, in a quiet rural location with a short drive to town and we did enjoy a walk to the local pub (about 2 miles). The only downside to the weekend was that Wales lost to Australia and Cardiff city lost to Arsenal but it couldn't have happened in a nicer more comfortable place!
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad that Bryn yr Haul provided a base for your birthday celebrations. It's good to know everyone was comfortable - except perhaps the poor chef! We try to provide everything you could want to make the house a "home from home", though we are always open to suggestions to improve the house.
The only exception to this is our ability to "arrange" the sports results, although apparently the powers that be don't like people trying to do that! I am comfortable though for Wales to join New Zealand as a rugby nation that really doesn't like the referee Wayne Barnes.
Thanks again - and maybe we'll see you all again next year?!

ever see the lens the surfrider photographer takes out of that suitcase? now thats a lens.
ever see the lens the surfrider photographer takes out of that suitcase? now thats a lens.
Damn, you guys need to come out to visit San Diego. We have like two Photogs in the whole city, and when we know where they will be it's a freaking zoo....
Seriously, there are NEVER cameras around here. Sometimes I've gotten sessions with the surfshot.com guys, but other than that, its Joe Ewing and Nobody.... Thats why there are NEVER any good photos of the cliffs. Ever. Cause there is never anyone out filming other than japanese tourists!!!!
I use my Fiance as my photog. Shes pretty good. But I video most of the time. She has a nice 35MM with only a 200 lens on it. Its ok at the beach breaks, but its not enough on the cliffs. Too far away, but my video camera works great on the cliffs. Im 400 yards out and she can zoom into my facial expression..
It is ALL about the glass! If you are going to shoot surfing, you are going to want something in the 300-400mm range. Teleconverters are also helpful in extending your reach and will be a necessity unless you ae going to drop BIG bucks on a BIG lens . You will lose several stops though.
i use a disposable camera
Ahhh, a "Cleaner" are ya? Good on ya, Mate. I'll keep that little nugget handy for when next I need a body disposed of...Thanks.
Not to mention the tendency to REALLY soft focus in the edges of most teleconverters. Basically, you get what you pay for. Mirror lenses are an option, but they have gremlins of their own like multiplying flare in the shape of your iris leaves.
I saw a mention of film. Shooting film is great and you can learn a lot from doing that. Just go digital, you'll find the learning curve closer to what you want Do some research then find a DSLR kit on E-bay or craigslist. That is a relatively inexpensive way to begin to dabble in the world of photography.
