Surfs Up! Sydney Australia

[HoboSyke]

Hey guys, long time no post here. Thought i'd throw a few of these up here.
I don't usually take surfing pics but a friend told me about a decent swell so I went and had a look and got these.

Thanks guys, for these it was a just a 5D Mark II and the 400 f/5.6L on a monopod.

I'm jealous! Living in a land locked state I don't get the chance to shoot stuff like this.

Nice set, cheers for sharing. You'll have to get a floating waterproof set-up or something next.

"just"


How long did you spend taking these shots? Looks like you woulda had to be quite patient to get this number of good action shots.

Hehe... When I said just in that post I thought about it after. Meaning every boy and his dog has a 5D Mark II these days. The 400 f/5.6L is pretty damn sweet for the money and if your using it in well lit conditions.

I was shooting between ISO200 and ISO400 for these. I really want a 600 f/4L

Spent a good two hours there, I was with a friend so we were chatting and having a laugh at the same time. Made the time fly! I think I got some more keepers from this set, just went through the ones that popped out at me first.

Thanks for the feedback so far guys :hugs:
