Cuttin' the Wave

Description

Taken with Olympus OM-10 and Sigma 400 f5.6. I have to take my hat off for the pro surf photographers. These guys aren't easy to photograph especially when manually focusing!

Thanks for the comments guys. Without motor drive, timing has to be excellent when taking the shot. This guy was by far the best surfer on the waves and once I had an idea of his moves it became a little easier to judge his movements. This is a new lens that I bought for AUS$150 (or US$80), so if I can get sharp images like this on 400 print film, I cant wait to run some sharper slide film.
Cheers Adam #15714

Great shot. I like that you tell us so much about how you took the photo and often add a little story about the picture. #51000
