The Australian Wavesailing Titles have been on in Margaret River for the last few day’s and we have been down there doing video and stills for them from the heli.  Here’s just a few image’s with the rest going up here     http://www.australianwavesailingtitles.org/  within the next week plus some great video footage soon as well.  Many thank’s go  to  Terry North (organiser), Heliwest,  Dan(pilot) and the many other’s who helped on this project.

 Here’s a few photo’s from the weekend as part of the previous entry. 

On Saturday 30-01-10 Perth experienced one of it’s strongest seabreeze’s for year’s with wind’s gusting between 25-35kn.  , it was also the day that Windsurfing W.A.  held it’s annual “South Beach Slalom” at South Beach, Fremantle. Windsurfing W.A. asked us to take some photo’s of the event, like we did last year and we  did a bit of video using the 7D as shown below -the still’s will be up later today? (Hopefully) 

 Here’s a quick video clip from Summerdayze 2010, shot entirely on the 7D using the 24-70mm and 15mm fisheye and edited on Final Cut Pro.  Thank’s to Paul (pilot), Nicole  from Mellen Events and Caroline the assistant .  

Yesterday was Summerdayze 2010 here in Perth and for us it was the 3rd year we’ve been asked to gather aerial still’s and video for this great event on the Esplanade  foreshore in front of the city.   It’s alway’s been windy each time we’ve done it which make’s thing’s a little difficult at time’s but got it all done in the end.

After we finish with the helicopter work it’s then onto the site for shot’s of the crowd, the musician’s and also some more video of which we should have a sample clip up  in the next few day’s. All up it was another great day, good crowd and   memorable event.     

This is one of my favourite style of shot’s,  just a lot of one subject taken from above that you can look at for a long time trying to find something out of the ordinary!   Taken at City Beach just recently with the 70-200 2.8 is.

 This is just a quick video of the arrival of the “Samson Supplier” we did on Saturday morning, shot on the 7D with a KS-6 stabiliser attached and using the 24-70mm 2.8.  Probably one of the more difficult shoot’s we’ve done what with shooting video and still’s by one person and trying to dodge the water cannon, nothing worse than salt spray on the lens - specially in a chopper!

We had an early 6am start yesterday to meet the  “Samson Supplier”, a new vessel built by Strategic Marine in Singapore as it arrived in Perth. We managed to locate it halfway between Rottnest and Cottesloe at about 7am  for the stills and video photoshoot of which I was going to do both as the video camerman wasn’t available this time.  First images were of the water cannon which covered the camera in salt a  few time’s and then finishing up with image’s of the vessel at speed, all done in a jetranger with the help of helicopter pilot Paul Debenham – should have a sample video up in 2 day’s time, shot on the 7D with a KS-6 gyro attached.    

We’ve been making a video of the Burswood helicopter over the past few week’s using the Canon 7D, and using the following lenses – 24-70mm 2.8, 70-2002.8is and the 15mm fisheye. The Burswood helicopter run’s scenic flights from in front of the Burswood Casino on the foreshore in Perth, Western Australia and is a great way of seeing Perth.
