Jersey Shore Surf Action with X-H2S
11

We recently moved down to the Jersey Shore which gives me one more genre to add to the photography repertoire, surfing. From what I understand, the swells really pick up this time of year so I'm looking forward to shooting even bigger waves in the next few months. For now, I'm really enjoying shooting a new sport and playing around with the AF-C Custom settings.

All photos shot with the X-H2s and XF 150-600 (around 300mm-400m).

Hi Steve,

The last two are my picks for composition such as the nice leading lines in the next to the last and and the face being visible in both as well great action which is present in all

Thanks, Morris.

I agree about the composition in the fourth one. In terms of pure action, the surfer liked the first one as it shows the best move. Looks like there should be some nice conditions next Monday so I’m hoping to get out there again.

Re: Jersey Shore Surf Action with X-H2S

hey, i borrowed my mother in law’s x-h2s and an xf 100-400mm for a trip and i am daunted.  what kind of settings did you use? i’ve had a couple years to figure out another camera shooting basketball in underlit gyms, which has been great, but i had the luxury of dozens of games. these are amazing, but i’m pretty sure i wouldn’t get there in a couple days where i’m hoping to get some surfing in myself.

I shot these at the same location in 2015. Used a X-T1 55-200 lens.

Ahh, brings back memories!  I grew up on the Jersey Shore and did a bit of surfing in my younger days when I was lifeguarding.

Thanks for sharing, even if it was a few months ago.
