It will be 1:00 AM before the moon is overhead.
A little past my bedtime plus I did get a ride in
out at Rufus today.
Hope somebody scores a little moonlight bliss.

Or just get some photog dude to set up his strobes at the Hatchery Point... I need a few crazy kiters to do the same thing sometime next week at the Sandbar if the wind stays up...
Adios, Jonny

Tonight at the sandbar around 11- 11:30. Three of us are planning on being there. Heard last night's session was amazing- glassy water, bright moon and good wind.
Bring glowsticks though for kite and kiter.

Hmmmm, sounds like fun... The wind is looking like it will stay up... Generator is gassed up and the flash media cards empty... Just NO flying through my studio lights!!!
Hey, is that picture I posted visible to everyone? I can't seem to view it anymore from my work machine??? Sorry as it is a windsurfing shot, but Wyatt pretty much rules on that stuff...
Thanks, Jon Malmberg

Ahhhh ha... figured out what I accidently did... Instead of pointing at the resized low res version, I accidently picked the full meal deal RAW image.
Here is another one! Someone call me if there is indeed going to be a posse down at the sandbar tonight...

Thanks...
I am definitely planning on seeing what I can do with the strobe idea. I was doing a KA Sail shoot awhile back and got frustrated when we lost the light. I tried to just use my regular flash, which just frustrated me even more, and the wheels started turning.
The thought of doing strobed kiting/windsurfing shots was in my head a year ago, but I did not have the gear. When I saw the cover of the last Kiteboarder, I was a little peeved at myself that I did not get on the idea sooner. So, went out found some powerful studio lights, a portable generator, some pocket wizards, and now plan to see how far I can take it... The nice thing having my photography as a hobby right now is that every penny I earn goes right back into photo gear.
Hopefully some kiters will show up tonight at the sandbar as the moon is supposed to be out again in force. I was using a wide angle last night, so the moon looks tiny. If I get some good riders out tonight, I can use a zoom and take pictures from 500 feet away and make the moon DOMINATE the background... Provided the riders can put themselves where I need them.
It is so so hard to not post the really really good ones... Keep your eyes on the windsurfing mags over the next few months...
Adios, Jonny Bammer
Hey Kiters... The moon should be out by around 8:00pm, and we need it low to make this work...

Why do you need the moon low? Can't we just boost higher and still get it in the pic  ? Sounds awesome...if I lived in HR I'd totally be there. Guess I'll have to settle for drinking with my buddies tonight 
Good luck tonight!

Cause I need to be a fair distance away to change the perspective in order to pull the moon in... Once the moon is high, your going to have to be about a two thousand feet up to put yourself between me and it...
Kinda like these two...

| Yeah, I figured as much. So what's the technique for boosting 2000ft high again besides jumping off a mountain? Seriously though, I wonder what the highest anyone's ever gone on a kite without jumping off something. I remember the video of that guy on Oahu that got lofted into the air right in front of Top Hat guy and I'd say he was a few hundred feet in the air at some point. I'm really glad he came out of that in one piece.
