[@nicklk132]

Also, how does your camera auto focus so well when there's so many heads in the lineup?

[@DylanBrayshaw]

Don’t know I just use the auto focus on ai servo. Centre focus point.

[@willjacka8036]

hi Dylan I am looking at buying aquatech housing for my 70D and a new lens to fit in a port which lens do you recommend using out in the water. thanks

[@julianrodriguez_]

Awesome shots man. So far I'm using the mavic air but I'm thinking about upgrading

[@patina_turner6791]

Damn you scored!!!! And seem to be picking up the drone pretty quick too !! Great work

[@DylanBrayshaw]

[@adventure_trail_guy]

[@Declanmactavish]

You deserve many more subscribers!! Great Work! Such an inspiration, I'm a surf photographer from Virginia Beach! Love watching your work!

[@DylanBrayshaw]

Declan Mactavish thanks man how's the surf been

[@Declanmactavish]

It's been small but with storm swells rolling through there's been some size! My Instagram is JohnDeclanMactavish if you want to check it out!!!

[@gavinjohnson7480]

Awesome shots I am a surf photographer in Costa Rica and I have been looking to upgrade do you feel that the 5d's autofocus can keep up with the surfers well enough.

[@DylanBrayshaw]

yeah it works great. but if the 5fps is a bit slow maybe try something else.

[@SurfEthan]

So good Dylan!

[@DylanBrayshaw]

thanks

[@nicklk132]

I love your videos Dylan! I just have a couple questions. I want to get out and shoot in the water. Are you treading water the whole time? Isn't the water housing heavy? Is it a ton of work? Seems intimidating at first. How does it work out?

[@DylanBrayshaw]

Yeah I’m treading water but with fins is really easy to keep swimming, also I wear a wetsuit top which is a little bit bouyant. The housing is neutral only heavy when you lift it out the water.

[@DylanBrayshaw]

The first time you try it it will be hard, takes a few swims to get the hang of it, changing settings in the water and knowing where to sit. A lot of fun really.

[@joelmcmanus4997]

Hey Dylan where do u get that photo sound affect from and sick vid!!

[@Micahyamauchi]

You fricken scored dude! Holy...wow

[@DylanBrayshaw]

Perfect Burleigh Heads would be in 1970, with next to noone out... But this is the next best thing today...

[@DylanBrayshaw]

Sean O'Brieon I hear ya Sean, would have been so good back in the 70s

[@jimzzful]

great blog mate ! but this made me cringe ! goldy crew wtf chill out the waves are pumping,!

[@DylanBrayshaw]

Thanks mate, yeah burkeigh is a nuts place when it’s busy. It’s just normal here to compete for waves like that. That’s why I take photos haha 😉

[@stephenmurray7519]

Typical BURLEIH TESTOSTERONE.... If you want to go where the waves are pumping but the crowds are still at Burleih and Snapper, and if the hand full of surfers are relaxed and with a dash of "nice wave fella", well I can't tell you!!! You'll just have to find it yourself. I'm 45 and began surfing the Goldie at 8 years old. These days it's the place I surf the least. If you want to get really serious about surfing photography, I think you need some hard work on the fitness side of things. It wouldn't hurt to train without the cam for a few months.You obviously have a feel for the sweep, but that was a small day. Just as a tip; you really need to be sitting just in the line -up and a few metres wider than the DROP ZONE, but when the surfer comes off the bottom, you are not to0 wide that you are getting pulled toward the beach, but (as I said), just inside the main line up but not too wide... You will find that the sweep will be inverse as you stay tucked behind the waves with the toes of the last surfer in the line-up. If you get your fitness and experience up, the yobbos dropping in will be hanging to rip a cut back just for the cam....then pull through the back of the wave and swim back to the toe of the line- up. If you are truly fit you will take 4-5 waves and get the best spay off the cutty in the lense, and recognise the dude that got barrelled, then pull through 4 more times on a small day like that. (Burleih is renown for its sweep,.... just like evry other point break!!!) Good luck mate, If you get really good I will take you to my prize break, but it wouldn't break until the swell is twice that of your shoot 27 March 2017. Its worth it!

[@buxyman123]

fuckin pumping

[@davek7753]

I would take one wave just to say I surfed here, then I'd surf the beach break. That crowd would annoy tf outta me and most the barrels aren't even able to be made.
