I went down to Anna Maria this morning to see if the swell was still decent - it was!!!


I used to surf on the east coast from time to time, but I never tried to photograph it - this shit is hard!!!


Honest C&C encouraged!!!

Awesome pics!!! You said that you thought it was really hard but I think you nailed it as far as getting near perfect pics. I don't think you could really ask for more.

 

Nice shots, Eddie. I got out there a little later than I wanted today. How long were you out for?

 

With the exclusion of a couple of the pictures being a little blurry, they came out really nice!!! I love the action shots and expressions on their face's!!! Job!

 

You could get that close with the 200mm or did you crop a bit? Good pics just need to up the shutter speed for some of them

 

Killer shots! I honestly never seen waves that big out there on the island! Good job!

 

nice shots!

 

Thanks Mike! I got out there around 8am and left at 11am. I would have stayed longer but I promised my son a trip to the park today.


Thanks Jerm! Not much cropping in most of these, 200mm works fine when you are waist deep about 30-40yds offshore!

You are right, some of these speeds didn't work well. It was my first effort shooting surf and I was moving the speeds around early on before settling on 1/400. It was very difficult to concentrate and shoot while fighting the current and keeping my equipment out of the water

 

Thanks Sabotage!!

 

brave man did you wrap the camera at least?
