Surf's Up

FYI Isac, here's the uncropped version.

Yeah, I think that this one was more A than C. I'm eager to get back Here with the 7D and Siggy 150-600. I'll also try the Siggy on the R6 and see how the eye detect goes.

#1: Great action shot John. Perfect timing to capture the surfer at the peak ready for the ride down. 1/400th not that fast, so well done to freeze the action.

I went down to Philip Island today with the objective of taking some long exposure shots. Unfortunately when I went to set up for the first shot I realised that I had left my shoe plate at home and I was unable to attach my camera to my tripod. On to plan B, well I had no plan B so I toured the island aimlessly looking for things to capture.

#1. This is a very heavy crop as I only had my 24-240 lens with me, still happy with the outcome. I am keen to go back with the Siggy 150-600 and 7D and try my luck again.

#2. Is it worth going in? Would this image be better as a monochrome, feedback welcome.
