    Hi ya Jeff
    Yeah action, I'm starting to dig this type of photography right next to wildlife, well I guess this qualifies as wildlife too. :D

    Good ones Ben thumb.gifthumb.gif


    Looks like the lighting was pretty poor. The first shot is a bit on the dark side for me. Maybe adjusting levels a bit might brighten it up. I really like the 2nd one. It's sort of dark too, but because the surfer is silhouetted by the water behind the wave, it works well for me clap.gif

    Hey, I gotta tell you, shooting surfers is a blast. I mean, unlike wildlife shooting, you get to see lots of pretty girls in bikinis while shooting.....Laughing.gif
