I don't have too much to say as I've never had the oppurtunity to even attempt these kind of shots (I live in Maryland), but I have to say that the water where ever you are is GORGEOUS!

I like the second shot in particular, looks like crunch time. the color of the water and wave reminds me of Sandy (Sandies) beach on Oahu. a favorite of mine.

I'd have to agree with those up above, that second shots is a superb capture

Looks like you're off to a roaring start. What camera/lens are you using?

Canon Xti, 70-200mm and a 1.4 teleconverter.

Nice pics on your site, I'll probably never get pics like that for 2 reason:

1. My equiptment limits me.

2. Even thought I love the beach, I CANT SWIM!!!

Thanks for the compliment!

1. Its all about the angle and timing but with the bending of the shore in Hawaii, you should be able to get some sweet angles while remaining dry!

You're kidding me right with not swimming. Especially living in Hawaii, with some of the bluest water on the planet and the reefs along with the caves and pools!

Well my friend, have a good one and Mahalos
