i hear maybe a little bit more size for tomorrow


Great shots! the composition is great on all of these.

Great shots! Are you shooting tomorrow as well?

Still debating whether to play golf with my buddies or shoot the surfers...I haven't play for a couple months now, will see.

Very nice series Patrick.....Man now I have to schedule my next trip to cali really well next time....

We must not have been too far from each other. I was probably just a little south of ya.

Forgot to mention, that those came out great!. Mine were decent but ill be back there in just a few to see if I can improve.

Fantastic shots, Pat.... And Joe, u were close to us. What lens were you shooting with?

70-200 2.8. I wish I had at least a 1.4x but alas, not yet. Soon I hope.

I'm going to have to look through my pics to find you. We're you using a tripd/monopod with ur lens?

at first I was using a monopod, but then my back gave out. I was sitting in a camping chair (not the stool guy, lol). My wife was sitting in the sand next to or in front of me. I was near the asian guy with what appeared to be a 300 2.8.

also IIRC i was wearing a black and tan hawaiian shirt. Fluffy dude, you cant miss me.

Remember the guy with the 600..? He's just about a few feet away from the guy.

Aha...I saw you but didn't took a shot. I was telling Butch "show me your photographers" while I was taking a few shots of the photogs that were close to us.

Anyways, I can't resist my Tee time this morning and felt guilty not shooting today's event. If anyone can post pic that would be great and who came out the winner.

yeah, i snagged the pics because of that thread. Its always in my head now. lol

Found you on my of my shots, Joe... And I think that asian guy was shooting with a 600mm... At least that's what Pat could decipher... Anyhoo... Hope we can meet up soon...

Nice shots as always Patrick, that 70-200 with extender gives great results. I shot a few from the pier Saturday as I only had about 30 minutes of parking on main street. Water sure was green, from what I saw and from your photos the quality of surfing was excellent for the small swell.
