As usual, killer surfshots Mike. You must've had alot of fun shooting big Bowls with primo conditions that day huh?

Did those waterbugs get in your way much?;) I usually photochop them out unless it's one of my friends.

I mostly stayed over at Kewalo's taking surf pic's on the Panic's side sitting on a stool in the shade :cool: when the latest swell hit. Must be my old age catching up with me.:lol:

Great shots! Nothing like that here in the Midwest. Any chance you can post the EXIF?

Great shots. +1 on the the setup you used.

I'm waiting for the weekend here to get out and take some surf shots.

when I shoot at Ala Moana, I use a 600mm f4 w/ a1.4 Doubler, never slower than 1/250 for shutter speed. I try to shoot at ISO 200 and with the 1.4 I compensate about a plus one third on the metering read off the breaking wave face. Now that I'm using the Mark III with its Hightlight tone priority has really been a image saver for me in the late morning to mid-afternoon. I don't need it for morning and late-afteernoon. Shoot in Manual for full control, Shoot RAW so you have as much information to work with. With that....pray for surf Aloha!
