Kite Surfing

[GBO25]

A few shots from a series taken of kite surfers on a dull day at Maroochydore in Queensland, Australia.

Nice shots all but, my absolute favorite is #3...

Good selection Graham. A pity it's so difficult to get the kite in the frame with these.

That's a great set Graham but the third is a particularly good catch.

I have to look a second and a third time of shot 3 because of the part white of his shirt...I was thinking that you have to be a contortionist to be able to get that position but it came out all right once I realized it was the white of his shirt. Nice series...good sequencing..

[Shadowman]

Nice series.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Grahame it is a pity but to get the kite in as well means either being in the water under them or zoomed too far out to get the detail I was after.

Nice series, my best is #3

good set Graham, #1 has a lot of dynamics in it - gets my vote, I think if the buildings were blurred in #2 and #3 they would have more impact showing movement but apart from a earthquake - probably not an option in the shot they are very good especially #3, #4 - well us less active types always secretly like to see a total wipeout

Nice work & with the kite so far from the board, these are often tricky to capture anything that involves 'both bits'
My husband is a keen sailboarder/windsurfer. So I see a lot of these when I got to watch him with the camera.
All the young chaps have the kites & most of the older guys the boards
Great series but I also think #3 is terrific!

Not an option in the shot Mark but definitely an option in post processing software. I think I'll experiment with that.
