    The discussion underneath the pics is really interesting

    This was only the second time that I shot surfers, I should go out and practise more...och well, hopefully the Highland Open will come again this year...

    Come on Deemac & ediston, I know you have some crackers too

    OK, here's a few from last years O'Neill world championships in April (looking forward to this years comp - a fabulous photographic opportunity to see world class surfing on your own doorstep!!)

    Can't compete with Ravens wave size (wow), but you take what your given. Shot 2 is of the 2008 heat winner.

    Raven & MPH,
    Congratulations.

    Deemac,
    Excellent, I particularly like the ones in sunlight, these were at Brims?

    MPH,
    No's 2 & 3, No. 3 really catches the feel of Thurso East, lovely photograph.

    Yes, if I recall vitually all of the competition last year was at Brims Ness with the final at Thurso East. (and of course I missed the best wave/surf day on the Sunday - didn't I?!!)

    I was following the jet skis with the camera hoping to get the background blurred and it is a bit weird on the eyes,same with No3,i was tring to get a bit of blurred water but keep the jet ski in focus,it kinda worked but not as i had hoped.Blame it on the new lens.
