Kite surfers

[Oneputt]

These guys fascinate me but not in the usual sense. I love their kites which are nearly always colourful, and I am fascinated by their shapes and the spaces they create between kites.

I really love these John. A slightly different approach, focussing on the artistic nature of the kites themselves rather than the action below them. Beautifully exposed and the sharpness and colour are spot on. I expect to see copies of these adorning the walls of one of your local surf shops.

Brilliant.

Jon,

beautiful work. You really know have to make that camera and lens sing

[BBJ]

John i agree with you and always hard to shoot in that wide lens is needed to get surfer in as well and these are great to watch and wlel pics are very nice.

Lovely Images. The first one is my favourite, to me it is a piece of art.

Well done John. A very different but effective approach to a difficult subject

Composition and colour of the first one is great

Nice kites - i like the way they line up together in both the shots - as if they are involved in some kind of dance.

Nice! Great subject. These would make an excellent series.

Thank you for the nice comments. Any windy day sees them out in force and it is just a matter of waiting for the kites to cross your lens. Keepers would be about 5% I think.
