Nice work Donna. Wow, fairly short board, is that normal for this type of surfing? Were you using AI Servo or One-Shot setting? We have had little to no surf here on the Emerald Coast of Florida. #7847709

Thank you Dick!

When I capture these type of images I usually have the camera set on the continuous shutter setting. As for focus, I had the setting on auto focus and one shot.
