Over a month ago, I decided to invest in SPL flash housing for my 580exII Canon Flash.  I wanted to start doing some night wave shooting.  I saw that as a great new challenge in my surf / wave photography.  Over the last few months, I have been getting some really good, deep barrel shots and wanted a new way to challenge myself with this type of photography. 

Since I got this back in March, I have been able to use it three times.  The first two times, were epic failures.  Both times, the waves were good and thought I could have gotten some really good stuff.  I under-estimated how difficult this photography was.  So before going out last night, I spent some time in my office trying to get my settings (both camera and flash) down before wasting my time again. 

So last night after the sun went under, I strapped on the flash housing and made my way back to into the water...While there is still a lot I can do to get better at this, I did finally come away with a few shots that I liked… Let me know what you think of these shots…feel free to shoot me a comment..
