TidalStock Blog and Stock Photography News

We have been super busy here at Tidalstock.  With the new site, we have been adding photos everyday, adding more amazing surf stock photography.  In between editing photos, we have also been doing some commercial projects.

We recently sat down with Nathaniel Curran and Erin Edwards with Fuel TV to take some pictures and help with the interview.  For those that don’t know Nathaniel, he is the 2008 WQS winner.  You can see some of the interview at our un-official blog. 

We also attended Jesse Billauer’s movie premier Jesse’s Story.  Jesse started the Life Rolls On foundation for spinal cord injuries.  Every Life Rolls On event we attend is amazing and Jesse does a wonderful job promoting his cause.

We are sad summer is over.  No more warm water, no more bikinis and trunks, no more crystal clear tubes in the hot summer sun.

But before we get to the large waves, cold water, freezing cold wetsuits, and snow bird days with four feet of powder, we get the months of October and November.

You can always feel the change in the air, slightly cooler, even on the warm days.  The Santa Ana winds start to blow giving terrific waves from mixed North and South swells.  The mountains start to get a dusting of new snow.  The days are shorter, but still enough light to have a long day.  The wind changes from the consistent thermals to the sweeping cool wind from the Santa Barbara Channel.

We also still get the last waves created by summer sand before the large winter swells wash the beaches out.

Indeed, this time of year is special.  Will we have a good winter?  Will we get large clean swells?  Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure, we will be out there capturing the elements as they happen.

See you out there!  Team Tidalstock

If you have not looked at Ryan’s portfolio site recently, we have made some changes! Please take a look and let us know what you think as we are very excited about the new site! It is simple, bold, and lets the photography speak for itself.

For those that do not know, Ryan is co-founder and chief photographer/editor of Tidalstock. Before he turned professional photographer, he competed professionally as a pro-longboarder. His passion for the water has led him to become an outstanding surf photographer. With some help from others, he began Tidalstock, a place for media buyers to find unique, bold, and fresh water stock photography.

We have some new changes coming very soon as part of our whole portfolio makeover. Stay Tuned!

Thanks to Mike Artman at Namtra Media for designing the new portfolio site.

Thank you for visiting our blog. We hope to keep you updated on what we are doing, where we will be, new photographers we find, and most importantly new images to stimulate your eyes! Kick back, scroll through, and check out the latest additions.

Comments and feedback are welcome! Nothing stimulates our photographers more than a thumbs up or a killer shot comment! They see them and read them!

May the future be filled with big waves, warm water, glassy tubes, and no crowds! Or if you are the mountain type, heavy snow, no wind, and blue bird days!
