Went down to Snapper on the weekend to play with my new big lens at the Quicky Pro. The last couple of shots was from the grommits expression session , these kids just blew me away.

Hope you enjoy

come on rob you could not keep your rythm or what?
You failed to put a girls pic between the 2 grommits pics.
It's all about consistency rob

Great shots.. Thanks Rob..

DJ

Sorry Alain this one slipped out.

I wonder if there is any legal problems with taking peoples pictures,posting them on the internet without their knowledge or consent, especially when used within a brand?????

always love ya work piros

I was thinking the same thing, don't get me wrong I like nice picks of girls ect but generally I think if someone looking on this site and recognized a friend ect, you could get in a bit of trouble. Privacy laws ect might come into play.

That said some nice shots, what size lens? Looks like a 500mm

Good to see the fio dental in good use up your end of the world.

Husq & Doggie

WTF is the differernce between these shots and Sexy girl sup pics ???????? give me a F**king break..... Channel 7, 9 &10 Blatantly showed close ups of every chicks ass during prime time TV , did they get permission ???

Do facebook search on the Quicky Pro and you will find 1000's of shots posted everywhere ...why are these different I'm not making money from it. People where taking shots and posting them live on their sites from the actual event.

Tell you what I'll leave this up for another couple of hours then delete it , yeah Doggie it is a 500 and it's the last time you will see a shot from it for free.

Like I care piros, calm down. If you don't think there is a problem leave them up.

No no no rob you are not a quitter!!
People don't realise how good it is and how lucky we are to get to see good pics coming from expensive camera gear for free as you mentioned.
Personally I do because I do buy camera gear as well.
So carry on doing what you do! A few people are wondering if it's right is not a good enough reason for the majority of us not to enjoy your pics

Piros,

I was a pro photographer in OZ, UK and US pre digital days. There were no laws regarding being in a public place taking photos that included the public or of the public... I am not aware of any changes to this. Good pics mate. What Camera and Lens combo are you using here?

Cam.

Great shots Piros. Awesome lens.

There's no problem with the shots. They're taken in a public place and not used to sell a product or service. You're probably likely to get into more trouble shooting and using the shots of the sponsored surfers.

Leave em up I say.

awesome pics Rob, the detail in the water when they are carving up the wave is amazing. Keep up your contributions and photographs mate - it is great to see your shots, especially for free.

As far as the girls go - lets be serious, photos taken from a public place of people in a public place are fine. Don't put it out in public if you don't want people will see it.

The camera bodies I use are the Canon 5DM2 & 7D this lens is the 500m f4 Canon L series.

I have not used Canon, tho they are one of the best in the market. All the press crew I know and see use them. A very handy wide aperture on that long lens.... You caught the water action well.

thats one big ass lens!!!!

If the girls in these shots where shy about their bits being shown to the world they would not be at the quicky pro with G bangers in full affect dancing in the shore break while the whole surfworlds photogs, live internet streams,Channel one and half the gold Coast look on.
Awesome shots Rob not just the girls but the surfing too keep up the good work and keep up this post.

The floss is in good use especially at the Quik Pro and you will find they are all on Brazo girls.

I have heard some great stories over the years of some let's say fictitious stories of regular local guys pretending to be so and so from somewhere famous to take advantage of said Brazilian star hunters......

Correct!

By the way, love the photo of the backhand hack, that's a mans turn not a boys trick!

Those chicks come here every year and wear the G to be noticed and if a chick was shy,why would they wear them in the first place.

Having said that,some of them need more material to cover up the flaws Hell thats one reason I wear boardies

As always top shots Piros
Rob take the week off and keep shooting while the rest of us are stuck in the office

Great pics as always and I hope you keep them coming,

All I see is pics takan of some moments in time captured with good equipment by someone who knows how to use it.

Haha good stuff, on the weekend I was at a local surf shop on the Goldy and I was talking about the Quicky Pro to the young sales guy. He was bummed he couldnt get there, not to watch the surf but to perve on the Brazo chicky babes.

BTW: Good work Piros, please keep it up!

reminds me of the 8 weeks I spent in Florianópolis a few years back. The WCT happened to come through town towards the end of our stay and boy did the ladies come out to play.

Piros, got any photos of any chicks without dimples in their bums[}:)]

Not a SUP anywhere and the usual trolls still manage to turn it into an argument...

Maybe next time warn off those easily offended with a "skin alert" and let the others make up their own minds. Talk about nanny state...


Great shots and hopefully others to follow.

How does the whole Paparazzi industry get by then? These guys legally sell photos of famous people who (generally) don't want their photo taken. Girls in tiny bikinis at big surf contests (generally) do want their photo taken.

Great shots Piros. Thanks.

There is nothing illegal or unethical about taking a photograph of a member of the public in a public place. Your expectations of privacy are lessened in such a scenario.

It's just the usual negative w@nkers....as if a sponsored person or sponsor wouldn't want their pic displayed anyways.

Cant see a problem.
Great photo's
