surf's up

A shot from our walk at Lee on Solent at the weekend. The wind was strong and bitterly cold.

That's the Isle of Wight in the background.
Wow - not sure I'd want to be doing that in January. Great shot though. Fav.

FAB wind surging shot. Wind surfing is a pretty big deal in Oregon..in the Columbia Gorge. Lots of wind there. Love seeing them in action. Love how you caught the light and color on the sail and the silhouette of the surfer. FAV

Excellent shot! I love the contrast between the cold, gloomy scene and the bright sail.

What a great shot. I love the colors of this sail. Are you going back and forth between your Panasonic and Sony? How do you like the Sony? FAV
January 15th, 2015  
Wonderful shot. Fav

Great action shot and angle, Hazel. Can't imagine being out in the water in that weather though. He must be a very hardy soul.

@darsphotos

Darlene I don't have a zoom lens for the Sony and not sure whether to buy one? The Panasonic has the best zoom of my cameras (I also have a small Lumix and an X20 and use them both too!) so is the best for this situation.
January 15th, 2015  
I love the silver sea!
January 15th, 2015  
fabulous capture! like the effect of the sun on the water!
January 15th, 2015  
Most effective with the figure in silhouette, but the sail with color and detail.
