Cuttin' the Wave [Surfing Pictures, Kayak Pictures, and Water Sports]
Uploaded: September 24, 2002 08:30:06
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!

Great shot Adam. #15708Adam Bolt September 24, 2002
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.
