How was your weather today?
OB?
Correct..
Swells were hitting the bottom of the pier today. The surfers were killing it.
Sounds fun. Cool shots.
Gorgeous shots Casey.

What lens were you using?
Just out of curiousity, Casey, i'm sure that you shoot your shots in manual mode, do you have to just get lucky with the frames (as well as good) to get not blurry blurry of action shots or are you using some assistance from the unit? I use a canon rebel Xsi, and just got a 50-300 2.8 lens that i plan on using at football games.
For action shots the best tip I can give you is to remember that you can freeze most human movement at 1/800th of a second or faster.. You can achieve it a number of ways, but simply you have to have enough light, or fast enough glass to give you that speed.
I shoot water polo in Shutter priority at 1/1000 to freeze action.
I was shooting at 1/800 and full manual for the surfers yesterday. The faster your subjects are moving, the faster the shutter has to be to freeze them.
