Oops! My bad. It looks like him.

Who is it?

Totally looks like Callen's style. That would have been my guess too, but the board gave it away.

That should be a win for you Myke. Good luck. I voted.

My buddy brad is the other photographer and my buddy chris is the rider. Both are great guys and while I think both shots are awesome, brad's is more unique imo.

Brad and chris are both wwer's too. So please don't let that influence you. Just pick the shot you like best.

I agree with Josh (But mostly because the other shot is mine!).

Myke I think your shot is rad. I'm loving the B&W. I just got a mamiya rb67 and have been shooting lots of B&W film lately. It's not much of a wakeboard camera though, at least for me.

Thanks Brad! Good luck to you!

Both shots are good! They usually are if alliance has them up.

I'm stoked no matter if I win or not

Nice shots guys. I like the way that Myke's is framed. The rider being a little offset is a nice touch.

Brad,

Myke is my boy so I have to give him love!

Now if Myke was not a friend, I still like his shot better. The B/W in that pic just does it for me. Your shot would be better IMO if the rider was in focus. Either way, nice shots by both! Congrats and good luck.

hahahha. When I gave my spot up to B-Hutt at spring ride he must have taken a lil bit of my style with him to the finals.

Callen... your style that day was a drink in your hand

(steezyshots) · (steezyshots) **Join Date: Feb 2008** 02-23-2010, 9:54 AM

I like that style!

Callen's got great style no matter what he's doing. Ha, ha, ha.

Just my $.02 Brad's sunset shot is pretty cool but the grab isn't that legit. He only has his fingeres on the board.

Mike shot is cool but there is no perspective of where he came from?

Both are cool shots but I like the tube shot over the DU.. Just my opinion.

no one asked you to critique them, mr. pro-photog.

jk.

@Steven Han- thanks.
You know it seems almost appropriate that the grab isn't legit seeing how I shot it with a homemade water housing that isn't quite legit either. :-)

Post a pick of you're housing.

That's sick! Super legit! How far can you take it down before it starts leaking? Do you have other lens ports?

Woah, forget the photos that housing is the work of an uber-talented person. I am super jealous.

(b_rad_b) · (b_rad_b) **Join Date: Apr 2007** 02-23-2010, 7:48 PM

Glad you guys like the housing.
Yes, I do have another lens port. The one in the picture holds my 50mm f1.8. The other is for my 12-24 (my tube lens).
I am not sure exactly how deep it can go. I finished that one at the end of the season and have yet to do more accurate testing. I did take it and swim down about 10-12 feet with no leaks.
