Taapuna surfing, Tahiti

AJMM · 28 May 2014

I was lucky enough to arrive during a competition that they had been waiting to hold until the surf got up. Think I've missed focus slightly but was shooting out of a rocking dinghy and it was hard to stabilise myself let alone the camera!

Love that 1st image, you're very brave to go near water with your gear

Thanks, not sure if I'm happy with the PP on it, still getting the hang of it! Gear is adequately insured as I spend my life on the water and like to take my gear with me!!

No1 is pretty epic!!

I like these a lot, great effort. Number 1 is a beauty - focus looks ever so slightly off but hardly noticeable. Still a quality image.

Fab subject shame you didnt have the clarity of number of 3 on number 1 but hey ho these are still soooooooooo very good

Thanks for all the input. I was pretty gutted I missed the focus on the first one! I'll be out again this weekend, surf permitting!

No.1 is an obvious fave as he is within the barrel of the wave. Would love to have seen no.3 a few more seconds on.
