Hi all, here are some more pics from the water:

It is hard getting as close as possible - lucky mates have a reasonable level of control and they do most of the hard work!

Not usually a fan of surfing shots, but these are great, specially No.2 & 4.

My main struggle here is the overcast sky + water when frothy and in the air. No 4 would be hard to print well, I think.

The evolution of your skills with this new gear for your D2x shows here. #2 and #3 are just superb and very salable I'd imagine

Love the second shot...

#3 is the top for action. Shows great movement and the expression on your mate's face is excellent.

As a semi-frequent surf photographer Heath, these are incredible. It is so hard to take shots like these. Keep 'em coming. Max.

Heath are you using any kind of filter on these fine images. Quite a while ago I tried surf in water shots with my first real point and shoot in housing and on research found that certain coloured filters can't rember which , were great for underwater shots. Im interested to know your thoughts

Heath, wonderfull shots and soon you will be perfecting this as we new you would get some spectacular shots. Glad you like getting in with the bigger fishies as i wouldn't. Just can see it now, you trying to explian to the insurance company how a Noah's Ark stole you camera. LOL

I think they are all great. Well done.

Jethro, I have had a look into the filters. Next time I go I'm just going to set white balance on fluro (magenta - EDIT - increased) and if I'm not happy I'm going to get a FLD filter.

Love No. 2 and 3, Heath. Great images.
