    California surfing

    Well, not exactly what you expected. I was out at the beach shooting some surf action but the waves weren't really there. I did manage to come away with a few decent shots. the last one I ran through Lucis Arts for a little play.

    Re: California surfing

    What did you do to that last photo ?

    Looks like some kind of edge enhancement.
    There is a light halo round the front of the board, and a dark artefact at the back of his head.
    But the wave and muscle/flab detail is sharp.

    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    The last one should stick to drinking beer...... Is there such a thing as cruelty to surfboards?
