Sandbanks Windfest Kite Surfers

[MPelley]

Headed down to Sandbanks Dorset for last weekends "Windfest 2009" event.

Had a good day and we were blessed with unseasonably nice weather for September in the UK ;)

This was my first time trying to capture Kite Surfers in action so your comments and thoughts would be gratefully appreciated.

Nice shots, It's the least action, but I like #2 the best.
I like #1 as well, cool shot with the surf style board.
Tell the guy in #1 that someone stole his bindings!!!
I have a tough time shooting kiting, I always want to include the kite to some extent. We have more snow kiting here in co, I miss the water a bit!

Nice shots.

I use a 100-400, which is perfect for this sport...samples on my website (below)
