Blustry day on the bay.........

Postby Rifleman » Sun Jul 30, 2006 3:27 pm

Quite windy on the bay inside the "Spit" at Comox harbour last evening, but for the kite-surfers, the wind wasn't really as strong as they would like........
Some shots ...... 8)

Excellent. Believe it or not I tried to get some shots of the kitesurfers off the local beach last week. Without much success I might add.

It's quite tough indeed Doug, these are only a few of the 175 (I got a great price on the film - ha ha ha) shots I tried to get.......not many others are sharp enough to show off to you lot of high level critics..... :-X

When it comes to action shots of athletes, it's all about the moment. You did fine.
I have to try kite-surfing sometime; looks like a very enjoyable way to dislocate a shoulder or whatever.
