That's good Christine! Nice timing, I like the composition - to the
point I miss the shoreline in the second crop, even as I don't
particularly enjoy the dark clad person.
I don't have particularly interesting waves shot, but in my attempts I
found some rithm present in all cases, with the incoming waves
overlapping with the reflected, to some huge splashes when the
interference is ok. Getting the splash right is another story, even if
you predict wich waves are going to be better. Usually needs lots of
clicks, lots of tries - or one VG moment with all close to perfection
and camera ready. And, a polarizer may come in handy, to tame or enhance
some reflections and skies.

Hi Everyone:
I believe this is my 1st wave shoot. I probably shot about 90 pics, but
this was the best of the bunch. The others weren't very interesting
mainly because I didn't time the shots right or the wave didn't turn out
as dramatic as I thought it might or the composition was uninteresting.
Getting all of the aforementioned just right at the same time was hard.
Birds were everywhere as well--so I cleaned up the sky quite a bit--lots
of blurry black spots polluting that drab looking sky :-).
I found shooting waves quite a challenge. I tried to use all my senses
to anticipate where the big splashes might be but it often didn't work
out. I tried to rely on hearing, but it seemed the louder and incoming
wave was the less interesting was the splash when it hit the shore :-).
If anyone has any tips, I'd be grateful. I probably should try this
again with an ND filter, no? Also, I'd be interested in knowing which
crop you prefer--I've cropped the jogger out of the 2nd pic.
Anyway, comments/critique welcome--I could use some help in shooting
this subject.
