Fanstastic stuff Alan. The shots showing St Mary's Lighthouse must have been on a very long lens - was it the long end of the 500?.

A good set. My favourite is no.3 -- gives meaning to the phrase 'stretching to infinity'.

Thanks for feedback - much appreciated. Got a camera club comp coming up, with the theme "Decay and Dereliction". I went to take pics of the old outfall pipe with the comp in mind. Reckon I have an entry in number 3. Was going to leave the Sigma 150-500 at home. Wasn't expecting surfers early in the morning, so those shots came as a bonus. To answer David's question, the lighthouse ones were at 500mm

Love this set Alan ! Especially the Surfer at dawn (don't always have to be sharp to be good) and Paddle surfer (maybe you could try selective lightening of the surfer - especially his face - to see if it improves it further).

Remaining taken with the Sigma 150-500. This next one could have been sharper, but I still like it as a picture
