Can you provide some background? Were you shooting from the shore, or on a boat and what lens were you using?

Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2005 9:05 pmHi ABG
I was shooting from the shore in the afternoon - so was shooting in to the sun. I was using my 70 - 300mm ED lens at 145mm, 1/2000 sec and f/5.6. I would love to get the 200 - 400 vr but cant afford it just yet

Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2005 11:25 pmFantastic photo - the depth of colour in the sky and the whole composition really appeals to me... well done 
Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2005 1:10 amI have to agree, great colour range in the sky and composition is great considering you were shooting a moving subject.

Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2005 9:56 amThis is a great shot. The extra windsurfers in the background add some depth and colour. The colour contrast of the sky adds appeal to me. Great image!
Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2005 3:17 pmGreat work with the equipment your using, and the distance you were shooting at, my friend 'Piper' also takes surf shots she tells me she learns a lot form your images, timing, composition knowing and knowing how to anticipate the action.
The 200-400Vr is an awesome lens it will set you back $10K but hey you may get a great return if you get a pro surf photographer gigs.

Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2005 7:01 pmBeauty!! Really like this shot. Great blues and awesome background. Composition really draws me in. Only niggle might be the crooked horizon, but this may have been deliberate?
Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2005 8:41 pmDamn Tarotastic - now've you ruined it for me, did you have to point it out!!!! 
I did straighten it originally but when I compared I actually preferred this one, as it makes him look to be jumping higher....
