Happy Halloween!!!

Sorry I haven't posted for a while....all I have tonight is a recent shot. This is Sean Hayes, it was a small day but I got a few. I like this one just because it shows how close the surfers get to us sometimes. This was shot with my Nikon D200 and the 10.5mm fish eye lens.

So this is kind of a test...Let me know if you like it.

This is Sean Hayes getting some tube time. I am going to edit all the sequences together to make a little video montage. This one doesn't have any sound. I know the pictures are small, I am working on that.

Just a Reminder...

TidalStock.com's radio Commercial starts airing tomorrow. Listen to 97.1 Free Fm online and if you hear our commercial tells us what you think. Click here to listen. Also check out our site and lets us know what you think. Thanks a million!!!!

Congragulations to Bobby Martinez for winning the ASP World Tour contest at Mundaka Spain, the Billabong Pro. This is his second year in a row winning this contest. If you don't know Bobby is, he is a local surfer from this area and just absolutely kills it at surfing. The next contest is in Brazil. Good luck Bobby. Watch all the action here.

And lastly the photos are of Tillman (You might recognize him from the apple i-phone commercial) he Skateboards and now he Skim boards. We are working on a little project with him, more to come later.

Have a great one......Little swell in the water----go surfing.

Sorry....

Sorry it has been so long since my last post.....A lot has been happening and some cool things are in the works!!!

Here is the News.........

--Look for us or should I say hear for us next week online at 97.1 Free Fm. We are running a commercial which can be heard on their online stream. I believe it will be played in the 8am-5pm time slot all next week. Listen if you can and if you hear it let us know what you think. 97.1 has a huge online listening audience and we think this well be great for TidalStock.com.

--With the radio commercial we will Re-launch TidalStock with more ocean, water, life and extreme sports Stock Photography and add a few new features.

--We are also adding new contributing photographers, which we are very excited about their work.

--Look for Tidalstock.com's work on FotoSearch.com. They will be a distributer of some of our rights managed photography. They come up number two if you search: Stock Photography on Google.
They were very pleased with our photography. This is huge to us since that they usually only deal with the "big fish" of the Stock Photography Companies.

--Speaking of Google, we are slowly making it up the list to page one in our specific search terms. This is great news for us.

--And lastly, In the next few weeks look for a new RyanCardonePhotography.com website. We are updating the photography and redesigning the site.

So I think that is all the news for now.... HAPPY SHOOTING!
