Wave Crazy

by fritzthedog

I was 100mtrs away with the Sigma 50-150 but these guys seemed to think you had to get much closer with much bigger glass to photograph waves!

What could they be doing with those huge lumps of glassware?

They are certainly taking a bit of a risk but it gave you a brilliant photo opportunity. Excellent shot
Perhaps they thought with that weight of glass they couldnt possibly get washed away!

Were they photographing surfers? If not, it's a bit puzzling. I bet your shot turned out better than theirs!

That's what I initially thought they may be doing - but the only thing in the water was them!
No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more
