Thanks, Dave--and I'm going to hold you to a trip to the "remote outpost of
humanity." I will make to Australia sometime, and I will look up our PDML
Australian friends--so, you've been warned :-).
Big cheers, Christine

Nothing wrong with those.
My only suggestion would be to go for a square crop. The LH side adds
nothing to the shot IMHO.
If you ever make it down to this remote outpost of humanity I'll take
you to some places that have awesome waves :-)

Hi Everyone:
I believe this is my 1st wave shoot. I probably shot about 90 pics, but
this was the best of the bunch. The others weren't very interesting mainly
because I didn't time the shots right or the wave didn't turn out as
dramatic as I thought it might or the composition was uninteresting.
Getting
all of the aforementioned just right at the same time was hard.
Birds were everywhere as well--so I cleaned up the sky quite a bit--lots
of
blurry black spots polluting that drab looking sky :-).
I found shooting waves quite a challenge. I tried to use all my senses to
anticipate where the big splashes might be but it often didn't work out. I
tried to rely on hearing, but it seemed the louder and incoming wave was
the
less interesting was the splash when it hit the shore :-). If anyone has
any tips, I'd be grateful. I probably should try this again with an ND
filter, no? Also, I'd be interested in knowing which crop you prefer--I've
cropped the jogger out of the 2nd pic.
Anyway, comments/critique welcome--I could use some help in shooting this
subject.
