While the surf was great, this is an imge of the ability of most of the surfers I observed. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vcxbxh9oqliycro/20170917_surfing_5872.jpg?dl=0 IMHO way over cropped. From that shot I get the feeling you've never been a surfer. (For me .. context is missing) My personal style tends towards heavy cropping. See the NEF files I posted in response to the Duck. And you are right, I have never been a surfer, nor will I ever be one. Since I plan to shoot a surfing competition in a few weeks, and would like to give some shots to the organization, how much context should I leave in? Since I am going to give them the shots, I would like to give them what they want. Yes, I have done such wipe-outs in my younger days. [but no longer even try... ] Lately I've been thinking about getting a good waterproof camera and going out to get some serious in water shots. ...maybe next season. I used to dive. I found an Ikelite housing worked well. I used it with my Nikkormat for years. However, if you just want casual family shots, You can get a P&S for a lot less money. https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=waterproof+point+and+shoot+camer a&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=177271484533&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw= g&hvrand=14427954963387958466&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqm t=b&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004545&h vtargid=kwd-4566510721&ref=pd_sl_2pg9uacdom_b https://tinyurl.com/yco2vvya -- PeterN |
