Spent the Thursday morning with Pat (finally met him and Butch) in THE WEDGE, and this shot was taken in Huntington beach that morning too. Critics welcome this is my first try of shooting surfers and definitely I'd love to do it again. Thank you Pat and Butch for meeting up with me I appreciate the hospitality of both of you and Dan O.

Thanks. I owe you guys one. I know more to come he he.

God I love this lens on the 7D for motorsports. I had some really good success this weekend at Mid-Ohio, mostly with the 1.4x converter.

Awesome shots Will. I am really glad I got this lens too and the 1.4tc such a great combo.

Now that's a chunk of air, hopefully landed also.

Nice action shots guys!

Here's some REAL action....well not quite!

I might go again tomorrow to watch the race. I need to nail down my long distance IQ and figure out what works best. This is ~1.75 miles the tower is 2.25 miles

Nice...I'll be watching the broadcast!

That's a cool shot, Kev. Love the fog.

Did you see this morning's race? Man, my heart was in my mouth when that jib halyard broke....I thought they were history. And lucky for the Italians that the chase boat got to the sail and forced them to tack...its hard to know whether they would have been able to see it and hitting it at 25 knots or more would have done way more damage than having to tack.

The Team NZ boat seemed a little less stable without the headsail, but Dean Barker and co did a terrific job keeping her going so fast!
