The last one for me, nice light and even better action, really tells the story that is is not easy.

They were some of the last shots I took with my 350D before it went to a new home. Lens was the Canon 70-200 F/4 L IS - all shots handheld.

They were from the surf club and opposite headland at Tamarama beach, which lets you get quite close to the surfers.

Thanks again for the comments!
