thanks. It took lots of watching these guys to figure out what they do when so I could shoot it.

Great shot! I think it's lacking a little in colour or contrast though.
It's not fair, we don't get many surfers here!

This is a good shot. I like it. What were your lighting conditions like? I have two in my gallery that came out ok. The lighting conditions that I was shooting in were horrible. It was overcast and rainy.

Thanks. The light conditions were pretty overcast with light sometimes peeking out. I must have taken a zillion trying to get what they actually do and how they move.
I went to your gallery.. pretty cool stuff!

That's exactly how it all took place for me. I want to go back and shoot again when the weather is a little better and hopefully I will have my new lens by then. Tomorrow I'm ordering an 80-400mm VR lens. I think it will help.
Thank you for taking a look at my gallery. I'm very glad you enjoyed my work.

I got a 10-20 mm zoom lens for Christmas. it's really fun to use.

Not you've got me wondering if I should get the 12-24 DX instead. I wanted the 18-35 so I could use it on bot of my cameras but I barely use my film camera anymore.

I don't know. I think one rarely ever need 12mm truthfully. I wanted to cover all my things and I have all zooms. I have prime lenses for my analog camera but they are difficult to work with on the digital.

I decided on what I'm getting. It's the 17-55mm F/2.8 DX ED.
I want to make sure that I have all of my focal lenghts covered. Switching from digital to film and back make that a little harder.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that sounds perfect. I just like to have all focal lengths covered too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, the one thing I learned though is that focal length isn't everything. Aperture is just as important. That's why I decided on the 17-55 because of the fixed F2.8.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OMG, yes. I'd take aperture above focal length any day! If I had to have one lens, it would be a 35 to 70 zoom with a F 1.4 or some such.

I plan on getting a 50mm 1.4 later this year.

Stunning shot - I just love the way you captured this.

love this one - must be very hard to capture what with the water movement and the surfers sudden twists - very nice !!! keep them coming - would love a closer one too

I need a longer lens bad! Or else I have to go out onto the pier and seeif I can get a shot closer up.
Thanks very much. it's fun to shoot them...

Very nice! the colours are so cold, it's adding something special to the scene, where usually we see bright summer colours! Well done!
