Default First try of Kite Boarding shots

this was before the meet yesterday at the south end of the skyway. it was freezing and windy so i could have gotten some better ones if i went out on the sand.

sorry for some sizes!!!!

Those doods are frikkin' crazy. It was cold enough standing in my back yard let alone on the water.

I wanted to get Matt lesson's at this but decided against it. Shiat's expensive LOL

Great pics though

Thats why I cut the lessons out with Matt. That shiat is more expensive then the photography

The lessons alone were about $400...that was just for 2 hours or something.

Good concept. I like the last one because you see the individuals on the right and the red kite on the left. The red stands out.

But with that said, Your pics are blurry and grainy. It takes a lot out of the photos. Were you using a tripod? And what camera were you shooting with? You might wanna play with the settings so you can adapt the camera for certain low light conditions(cloudy skies). But it was a good first try. With photography its always a learning process. Just remember tripods do wonders!
