2-28-2014 More Jetty Surfing

I can't believe this new 600mm lens, it's so sharp but really heavy.  I'll have to figure out someway to haul the heavy thing around.  Still learning how to track and keep the surfer in focus.  It's a lot of fun but I hate to wait for the sets to come in.

2-26-2014 Surfing Mission Bay Jetty

Yesterday's shoot with the 600mm telephoto lens was great.  This shoot was more of a test on how fast the lens would react to the motion of the surfer.  I can't believe how sharp the images came out.  That lens is really heavy and it wasn't easy jumping from rock to rock working my way out on the jetty to a good shooting location.

K38 Baja Mexico

I've been hanging around the house at K38 in Baja for about a week talking to old friends and doing some photography.  The weather has been great and the surf has be so-so but it looks like the rain is going to start on Thursday and continue thru the weekend.  Think I'll head up to San Diego and work my way along the beaches to see what kind of shots that I can get.  I might get as far as Del Mar but who knows.
