Title: white Horses, Assynt
Post by: KMRennie on February 07, 2020, 07:32:58 am: From last October. Taken standing in the sea trying to pan the incoming waves with a 200mm lens at 1/8s and scamper back up the beach when necessary. Unfortunately the image with the best wave had a totally crap background and the best background had a nondecript wave, so the best of both worlds with a merge. Ken

But what happened, some kind of filter?

It's much more exciting than any of the many bad surf shots I have attempted.

I think in all the times I have tried ICM over the years, I have managed to get only one that was worthy of all the effort, so again well done, because it isn't easy and yet you have proved how valuable it can be, so I am going to have yet another go at this in the future, so thanks ;)

Dave

It is for me, too. Just wonderful.
