Guess the photo that does not belong to the series

Cool ones of your mates making the most of the surf!
I really like #3, but would appreciate if you played with the levels just a tad to add some more shadow and colour.

Lighting levels were high


Good luck the near future

I would have tried to under expose them a bit, but wow nice shooting. I wish I was there to try that!!

Thanks for the feedback.
For surf I don't shoot RAW, shooting in RAW and taking sequences with a 350D doesn't work too well. I have turned the brightness down in these shots using photoshop. Shooting surf on the East Coast of Australia is bit of a mission, arvo lighting is the best (pics 5-9) but shooting in the morning is very hard, finding the right angle to shoot on, where there surf is going to be good and finding a decent peak with decent surfers on it.

The photos may be a bit light but surfing sure looks like a great way to spend an afternoon.
