More Bouldering at Pipelines

[mushy]

The day started much more overcast than last week which helped with more even lighting

First problem of the day small edges but an easy line

Nice ones Mushy :thumb

I have always wondered if using a fill flash would cause any problems for the climbers? I mean I know if they were staring at the flash when it fired, that wouldn't be good. But, I mean when they are climbing and especially in mixed lighting?

Good stuff, I like number three the best. Gotta love #5 though, that part is half the fun. :D

As for flashes, it generally isn't a problem. I guess it really depends on the person though, some don't like their picture taken at all, and climbers are a rather random quirky bunch of people. :rofl

cheers to both of you for the comments, in regards to the flash I do try it from time to time and the climbers don't seem to have a problem with it. It's something i definitely need to experiment with more.
You are right about pic 5 Coldclimb feeding your face of whatever you grabbed from the bakery on the way in is always satisfying after a full mornings boulder session.

Thanks mushy. I love these shots of sports I don't know much about. Great stuff.

I really dig this shot:

While the more up close and intense action shots are fun, this is the sport in a different sort of way. I like it! now if only the crash pad was cloned out...
