June 10: On Guard

Del Mar, CA

I am submitting a couple of images for June 10 PaD taken at Del Mar Beach.
Now I realize in terms of the thrill or drama factor neither of these two are anything you would write home about. (Come to think of it, I am home!)

Anyway, I am trying out my new "L" lens and at least think that this helicopter shot will match anything Herb has done, and the other nominee the surfer shot is at least decent.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Cool. This is what got me into the Coasties back when.... Enjoy the new glass! I'll get mine in a few months.

Like how the copter fills most of the frame, with the rotors taking up the upper right.

BB update: Sox 8 Pod 2. No rain forcasted.

It must have been a very sunny day to get that clarity with those settings. Very nice piece of work.

Northstar said it perfectly-this 'copter looks suspended. Great shot.

The rotors look so still. It is frozen in time.
