Ian

I met Ian during the Noosa Surf Festival on Main Beach. I had taken a couple of photos of a Canon 7D camera with a very large zoom lens, which was set up in a prime position to take photos of the competing surfers. Then Ian stood up and started taking photos with the impressive camera. I asked if I could take his photo and he was happy to oblige. He lives in Coolum which he likes as it is quieter than Noosa, and is a keen Surfer himself. He was the chief photographer for the Noosa Surf Festival event.

He describes himself as a semi professional photographer and before this he was the head of a TV station, WIN channel for Wide Bay. Ian is originally from Wollongong in New South Wales.

Thanks very much, Ian. It was a pleasure to meet you.

This was a flash photo with the Canon SLR against the background of the very bright beach and ocean. It looked very dark in the LCD screen so I was relieved when it turned out as a reasonable result. B&W version in the note on main image.

Very nice portrait. I'm glad to see you've begun on your "100 strangers" project (and I must get back to mine...). You handled the tricky lighting here very well (as you say, the LCD screen is useless in super bright light such as here in the background).

Thanks George. I took the photo through the viewfinder and reviewed on the LCD screen. I rarely use the LCD screen when out and about as, as you say, it is hopeless in a bright light.
