Surfs Up #2
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 13 April 2009 in People & Portrait.
I'll try to alternate some surfing images over the next period so as not to overload with the HDR stuff; another one from Woolacombe
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)
Bill from Los Altos, United States
Gorgeous. Makes me want to dive into HDR soon. can you tell me more about this shot and how you used HDR for it?

Nicki from Germany
Oh i have to think about a new zoom lens. Which one did you use? Because i think that this pic works really great. Very very great scene!

@Nicki: Thanks Nicki, this was taken with a sigma 70-300. Not bad for a beginner zoom, but very soft at long focal lengths
@Eleftheria: Thanks Eleftheria

Cool shot. I like how you caught the water he's splashing as he walks.

such a fine shot with him heading out into the surf and backlit so well. There's a real nice feel to this image. I also really like the amount of detail -- almost like a shot done with film
