The waves were less than perfect for the World Surf League Contest in Huntington Beach so I found other interesting subject matter to photograph while the contest moved along. Here is somewhat of an overview of what was discovered through the lens.

You know what LB??? Pro surfers like these always make even bad surf look good. That's why they are pros. They can turn bad surf into good surf!
Thanks for the nice comments!

Brent now these shots are wonderful. The surfers are sharp and not overly sharpened. The umbrellas good stuff.
Keep shooting. I always like looking at your shots.

Thanks so very much Jules for letting me know the surfers and not overly sharpened. I try to enhance my photos but am very sensitive to oversharpening them. It's always a good thing to know from fellow photographers that what I am doing is "good". I will continue to shoot photos for the rest of my life........thanks for the nice compliments Jules.

In the third shot, it would have been nice to see more of the ocean.

I just missed these, I was in LA on the 1st and had my gear to boot. Ended up going to Venice Beach to shoot the skate park.

Natalie, I might have cropped off to much of the water.......I'll try to be more sensitive in the future!

Jimmy, I see that you have chosen my only two photos of surfers riding waves! I think you are biased! lol Thanks for liking them so much. I have tons of much better surfing shots that you might enjoy. Just click on my name then view the "number of messages posted". You can scroll down to see what may seem like surfing photos by the titles.
