The psychedelically radical video above was shot with a $100,000 high-speed camera called the Typhoon HD4, capturing intricacies of ocean waves normally imperceivable to the human eye. Shot as a teaser for BBC’s upcoming South Pacific series, the clip features surfer Dylan Longbottom in a 12-foot monster barrel.Just too danged COOL!

That is awesome (and scary). Incredibly beautiful. I wonder if the photographer ever even considers his own personal safety while he strives to get that perfect shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Buck!
You said it Buck, "Just too danged cool"!
ReplyDeleteThe teaser works for me - I want to see the exit.
Christina: I've often wondered the same thing about certain photographers. There IS such a thing as getting too close...
ReplyDeleteAnn: We'll probably have to wait a year or more until some US network picks up the series. IF they pick up the series...
Wicked!
ReplyDeleteThe photography was amazing. I read another blog called Latchkey Man, who is from Florida. He has posted some amazing surfing scenes.
ReplyDeleteKris: Indeed.
ReplyDeleteLou: I was most impressed with this vid, but it looks like few others were... aside from the usual suspects. (insert BIG ol' grin here)
