That's Not a Lens . . . .

. . . This is a lens.
Of course I wasn't the only photographer up on Kirra Hill. It was packed.
This bloke is a professional surfing photographer employed by one of the surf board manufacturers to take shots of their boards in action.
He tries to conceal the lens with the black cover so that he doesn't have dopey amateurs coming up all the time asking him stupid questions. LOL

[Debbie]

Haha.that clearly didn't work.

[Babs]

God, I bet he gets neck problems. It is making my neck ache just looking at this shot.

[Keren]

This is the Lens, yes he need to know a good cairo. for his neck...

[Diane]

Severe "lens envy!"

[Jane Anderson]

Charlie and I call these bazooka lenses.

[ShirleyB]

Oh my that is a large lens. Hope he got some good shots.

[Rachel]

Overcompensating? Haha. I wonder what mm this lens is, it is very impressive.

[Tony]

Hefty piece of equipment. Nice shot.

[Peter Grave]

Nice capture Terry .Did he have it on a monopod or tripod or was it hand held??

[Valerie Chesney]

Wow, that is a BIG lens....love all of these shots....

[Peter]

Wow great lens and candid capture Terry bet he could see the whites in the surfers eyes, not a bad life following the surfing circus around the world:)

[MIMI]

What is he saying to you out of the corner of his mouth? I'd think the big black cover would arouse even more suspicion than the lens!

[Barb Newcomb]

That is a serious lens!!!
