Sunset Surf: C&C

[Richard Lane]

Hi Rich-


Wonderful captures! The first shot does work, better than the 2nd, IMO. The last one is my favorite - seems to capture the essence of the ocean and the relatively small surfers help with that impression. Only change I'd make to that last one would be to crop a few pixels from the right side to remove the partially-shown person.


Great work!

.....Hey Matt, Thanks Man!





Hi John,


Thanks for your suggestions. The image to the right side of the last photo is a rock from the Jetty, and you can see another one towards the left in the frame, but regardless of what the object is, you're right it's cut off, so it can be distracting, so I'll have it removed!


Anything about the 2nd shot that you think I can improve on?





Thanks again everyone!





The Lines are still open and we are still taking calls!

Ok, here's #1 with some dark space cropped out at the bottom.


What do you guys think? I think it may look too fuzzy cropped, because the quality was not that great to begin with, but I think I like the composition better this way. I was handholding the camera and I took this picture in 1 second, because I didn't want to shine that 300mm f/2.8 telescope into the Sun too long and burn out the sensor, after I heard what happened to Bryan.












OK.., Check this out! These next 3 pictures were right before # 3 above in the first set. I guess I've been taking so many pictures lately that I thought # 3 was the main shot, now after looking through the entire batch again.., look what I found. Now, I realize that this jump sequence was actually the main subject. Oh, well, I guess I have good luck!





























Thanks for looking!

Is that a kayak or jet ski flying into the air in the background?
