I love the position you've captured him in...
really feels like he's riding this huge wave,
with all the spray. Just hope your bank
account doesn't start to get worried now that
you've tried out this new equipment ;-)

Wow! Now THAT's a surf shot. And shooting
must have been almost as much fun as Ben is
having!

Brilliant! Well done on this - it's clear,
powerful and just highlights the sheer volume
of the water!

Geez, this is just amazing! The whole thing
is so sharp...great action sports photograph!
Yes of course, there are ocasions when a big
camera really does make a difference, but i
still believe that the photographer is the
KEY!
Best,

PS- oh, and this friend of yours,
Ben...what a men!:-)

Thanks, everyone!
@josh, I'm sure you'll want to contribute
to the "Get Pete a New Lens" Fund,
right?
@espion, The background is a sheer cliff
across the bay. You can get a look at it in this pic and several others in my stream.

Awesome, Pete! Wow what a great capture.
Love the framing and all the white water
splash around the surfer.

Yes, awesome shot, Pete! Ben's
cutback/dropout is radical and the wave looks
really turbulent. In reading your notes, my
thoughts were along Josh's lines. Everything
works - Ben even matched his surf trunks to
the board colors!

@Roger, lol -- not sure I should mention
it, but Ben's mom told me she suggested the
shorts after seeing him in less colorful ones
in some previous pics :D

I like to look at the Exif info on shots like
this to see how you did it. 1/4000 sec really
got you the sharpness and froze the movement
- fantastic.

Thanks again, everyone!
@Wayne, at least that's what we tell
ourselves when we're trying to justify the
purchase of an expensive new lens or camera
;-) By comparison, this shot was taken with equipment costing 1/6th as
much, and while the action isn't as
interesting, technically they're not too far
apart.

Just saw this one on the explore page. So how
much do you have in the fund now, and
Christmas is coming too. Who knows maybe
there really is a Santa.....LOL. Good job and
fantastic capture.
I just looked it up...it's a $3,000 lens.
That's a lot of pennies.

I just did a google search. You are right I
was looking at the IF and not the IS. That
many more pennies you need to save for the
sake of one letter. Sorry for giving you
false hope on the price. : )
