Near Miss


This shot is from our California trip last year. I was up on the San Clemente Municipal Pier trying to get some good surfing shots, and not having much luck. The long-haired guy above seemed to be one of the few getting any runs in, so I kept my eye on him.
I had the camera in "burst" mode, and started shooting as he began this ride, capturing the amazing near miss above.
Don't worry, neither surfer was harmed in this incident.
I'm using this shot for this week's
Photo Hunt challenge: "Unaware."

Push Pin Landscape


Trying for a different approach for this week's Photo Hunt challenge of "Un-Corked" than all the wine/champagne-themed posts; our little red friend here being non-conformist and "un-corking" himself.
