Hi Y'all,

Just got around to processing some of my surfing shots from last month.
All were taken with the D2X and the 300mm F/4 with a 1.7 TC.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Seems funny to see you posting Surfing pictures Harry rolleyes1.gif
    I sort of expect to see a pelican or other large bird in the shot with the surfers ya know rolleyes1.gif ... I too noticed the surfers had not wetsuites on as did Steve.

    Nice work Harry......... Skippy

    Thanks Steve. Every once in awhile I need a break from the wildlife and this competition was just what the doctor ordered.
