1st Sport Pics - Surfing

This is my first ever attempt at any sort of sports action.

The tail end of a cyclone hit us in SW Oz yesterday, bringing some good swell

Any tips for future attempts welcome

Uh oh, nearly 70 views and no comments - are they that bad

I'm very keen to learn here, so all C&C welcome, good or bad

Cheers

I would have probably cropped tighter on pic #1. Pic #2 (shooting in the sun is tough) but maybe crop a little tighter and cloned out the guys in the lineup....maybe convert to B&W and play around w/the contrast?

If you don't surf you might also want to pick up a Surfer/Surfing/Surfers Journal magazine to get a better idea of the action. Tons of rippers in OZ so you shouldn't have an issue w/lack of talent in the water.

Thanks for the advice effstop Good idea about the magazine, I guess that will tell me about upcoming competitions etc too
