I like the last one the best. Faces always help make a photo. Not that the girls with butts in photos is going to get many complaints though. :lol:

one thing you might want to try is shoot on manual. Meter your hand under the same light. It will help towards keeping a balanced exposure. If you use TV or AV, your sensor will get all messed up with the light colors and dark colors.

Nice photos... I grew up about 15 minutes from Wrightsville Beach. I spent a lot of days there and Friday and Saturday nights thoughout my adolecent years.

I like em too, the 3rd and 4th ones may be a tad overexposed for my tastes.

[superdiver]

I like these. I keep on looking at them every day, thinking why didnt I CHOOSE a career more like this????

thank you all for the kind comments.

Grego -- tried to get faces in all, at least profiles. Lots of deleted shots with just the backs of peoples heads. These were all shot with spot-metering, all shot at a close angle to the sun, but small changes in the angle into the sun made for big changes in the exposure needed to get skin exposed to mid-tone. Don't think M would have worked well.

Nidz -- 300 f4.

Forkball -- we live in carrboro (near chapel hill) and drive 2-1/2 hours to the beach. The NC beaches are great, why'd you ever leave?

Ah... because I'm a native New Englander... I moved down there at the age of 12 with my family, and moved back to New England at 19 with my family. It was a money thing. There was just more of it in New England. We were going broke down there. My dad was a car salesman and I was rebuilding transmissions for $4.50 per hour fresh out of high school. Wilmington is pretty crazy now from what I hear with the movie studio being there and all. I do miss the NC beaches though.

Nice shots. Heading to Topsail in a few weeks, but I don't think you will catch me on a board. Those are definitely better looking models than the ones we usually see at the beach.
