Hi Everyone:
I believe this is my 1st wave shoot. I probably shot about 90 pics, but
this was the best of the bunch. The others weren't very interesting
mainly because I didn't time the shots right or the wave didn't turn out
as dramatic as I thought it might or the composition was uninteresting.
Getting all of the aforementioned just right at the same time was hard.
Birds were everywhere as well--so I cleaned up the sky quite a bit--lots
of blurry black spots polluting that drab looking sky :-).
I found shooting waves quite a challenge. I tried to use all my senses
to anticipate where the big splashes might be but it often didn't work
out. I tried to rely on hearing, but it seemed the louder and incoming
wave was the less interesting was the splash when it hit the shore :-).
If anyone has any tips, I'd be grateful. I probably should try this
again with an ND filter, no? Also, I'd be interested in knowing which
crop you prefer--I've cropped the jogger out of the 2nd pic.
Anyway, comments/critique welcome--I could use some help in shooting
this subject.

Cheers, Christine
I'd go with the first one. We don't have waves here, so I can offer no
pointers other than to watch with one eye and shoot with the other.
