I must say I am rather chuffed with this effort - big swell, tried wading out then clambered up on the rocks near to where the surfers were launching off. Some of these young blokes are incredible as this shot shows.
Taken on manual setting, F6.0 and 1250 shutterspeed I think on a Tamron 300mm lens.

Awesome shot Ozimax!
But is that a crack in your lens?
Oh no, it's not your lens.

Yet again you prove your prowess with surfers - let’s hope that surf photography does not get banned

If they ban surf photography, I'll give the game away, or get very cranky, or both. Maybe a few poignant letters to some local pollies would be in order?

Hey Ozimax,
There lies a fine action photograph. You really do fight hard for your shots! Top stuff- keep it coming but most importantly - keep it dry!
Love your effort!
Cheers,

awesome shot and fantastic timing
Did you show it to the surfer. I bet he was stoked and would pay you a pretty penny to have an A3 framed one on his wall.

As a former keen rifleman, I was taught to wait patiently for the rabbit/fox and then shoot once between the eyes. Like photography (and many pros) you can just keep pressing the shutter, filling the CF card quickly and hope for a good shot or you can wait for the right moment. IMHO photography, like many others things, is all about timing.
Thanks for the comments Matty,
Max

WoW. That Tamron has some punch in the right hands which are obviously yours.
