I’m actually amazed that you can achieve those shutter speeds with a 600mm lens!
I guess I’m going to have to save my pennies…
David Orias replied
The light is really exceptional on the North Shore of Hawaii and makes it relatively easy to shoot this fast. Thanks

This photo has won the “Rule of Thirds” Challenge in Photography 101! It will be featured and you will be featured artist for a week!
David Orias replied
Thanks, and thanks for the note about adding the appropriate information to the photo.
Taylor Sawyer
See, I told you it was a perfect thirds example! ;-) I’m so glad you got it in!!!!
Natalieubl
Congratulations! I couldn’t got past your shot.
Taylor Sawyer
Hey there, I have a favor to ask! Since you won the Rule of Thirds challenge on Photogrpahy 101, I was thinking about using this image on the button I am making to create easy access to examples of photography techniques. I just need your permission to snag this work off of RB and use it on the button. Is that ok with you?
PS You will also be asked, when we are ready to do it, to tag this photo with a group tag representing Rule of Thirds. This just means you have a good example here and we want to include it in our library of excellent works to exhibit photography techniques.
David Orias replied
Be my guest. I will need instruction on how to “group tag”.
Taylor Sawyer
Yup, I’ll let you know when I am ready to do that and give you the instructions on how to! Thanks so much!
