Good work, looks like fun

Nearly overhead and semi-glass in the gulf!? Sweet! Good pics too, do you use a polarizer?

No polarized filter on that lens. It is on the list of shit to buy. My 18-200 is the only one I have that filter on, but I wanted to use the 80-200 2.8 that day.

Cool, the 80-200 2.8 is a great lens

glad to see it's working out for you! I just posted some surf shots I took with the 70-200 2.8 VR in the surf forum. Straight jpg w/o any post-processing.

It is a great lens at about 5.6 or higher. The action shots at 2.8 are just too much for it. It searches and searches, and usually focusses on the wrong thing. I'll get the 70-200 some day. For now, I really like this lens.

I really love the 4th shot! The flying surfboard in the background only makes it more interesting.

Yeah- wish it were mine. My camera wouldn't work so well in the water.

Ah. Well the last one of your pics is your best.

Cool, thanks. The kid in the red shorts is spancered by Cobian and Spy and a coupla other companies. He sent them over to Spy, and they really liked them. It is nice having a good subject to shoot.
