Nice, shot 2 is my favourite although I'm liking number 7 a lot, shame his arm is in front of his face.
I imagine it was a bit scary being that close.

3rd from the bottom.... knowing the 10-17 as I do, I'm surprised he didn't snip a little off the top of your hair!
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

All comments appreciated.
Shot composition did not enter my head. These are not set up shots. Only the last two shown were "normal" and I wanted my shadow in one shot.
The gays approach at 50KPH + and it's only their timing that stops me getting trashed. The first five shots are an actual sequence, as are the next three. I didn't show the landings although caught.
They go over the top very close and just trying to keep them in frame was an issue as I had shorts on with wallet, mobile and car keys in my pockets and did not want to "fall in".
I'm back out in an hour armed with swimming shorts, so it'll only be me, the K7 and fish eye that risk submersion or impact.
The technique has to be very similar to close in photography of snow/skateboarding.
Weather is "perfec" just need Katherine Zeta in frame.
Best regards

Oh dear, how did I write that! No wonder the spell checker didn't show an issue. The guys will not be happy about that.The gays approach at 50KPH + and it's only their timing that stops me getting trashed.
Just back from an afternoon waist deep with the K7 and fish eye. One near pass drown me and the camera/lens. Shook off the excess and kept shooting. Just sprayed the lot with fresh water from a spray bottle and dried it.
Works fine!

These are really good, right in the middle of the action.

These people are attracted to cameras.
The front of the lens gets lots of sea water in it. That's the price of close up and personal. Back tomorrow with swimming shorts and out to waist deep.
