About This shot was taken at the loooong end of the optical zoom and then very heavily cropped in to get these three surfers in action. I really liked the placement of the surfer behind the spray of the guy riding the wave. These guys and girls are very brave to surf close to the big rocks along this beach!!!

Hi Bek... I think surfers are just brave full stop... ~~GRIN~~...

Love the placement of the three with the rider disecting... on the way out and coming in... plus the wave colour creating that very definite band... Well done...

Onie...

That's a pretty good effort Rebecca, looks sharp, with good timing and just love the colours in the water.

Great composition! Just the water and the surfers, so simple and strong. CC


rebecca claassen   {K:16443} 10/1/2006
Thanks Cathy, as I said in the 'about' this was heavily cropped as you can see from original below, so I was happy to see that I still had enough detail to make a half decent crop. Thanks again for your great comments, much appreciated, cheers, B



rebecca claassen   {K:16443} 10/1/2006
Thankyou Larry, we were up quite high on a lookout platform and following these guys trying to catch them before they fell was quite a challenge, but fun to watch. I have added the original below to show just how much of this image was cropped out if you are interested. cheers , Bek


rebecca claassen   {K:16443} 10/1/2006
Thanks Phil, I always appreciate your comments, as you may read above in my comment to Larry this was tricky to catch, hence the very much cropped shot (have posted the original above) so I had to be quick, cheers, Bek


rebecca claassen   {K:16443} 10/1/2006
Thankyou Bruce for your encouraging comment. The original image is now posted above and as I have explained in some of my other replies I was very pleased to see that I didn't lose too much detail from the zoom and crop, cheers, Bek


Larry Fosse   {K:66252} 10/1/2006
Certainly a small crop..well done

Great work, Bek!:)

Well done Rebecca, I know the difficulties involved in capturing surfers, having been involved heavily in the sport in my younger days
also I know this beach only too well

Regards Colin


rebecca claassen   {K:16443} 10/4/2006
Thankyou Colin, and appologies for the lateness of this reply, I didn't get a notification and only just stumbled on your comment. It's a great beach, happy you like the shot.
cheers, R
