    Sharp with a perfect EXP but with wind against sun and a beach littered with shell fragments you were up against it. Getting on the ground if you could have would have helped with the shells but not with the wind against sun lighting....

    Just think how easy this stuff would be if we could control the wind.:eek: I guess part of the game is making the most out of what is put in front of us.

    Joe:

    I think a bit more fill flash would have helped significantly as far as the lighting here. Yes, whites on the tail would be a challenge, but it would help fill in the shadowed areas created by the light angle.

    I find that when the light is harsh, or the angle is way off, I am using flash more and more frequently.

    Bodies angled more towards us would have helped with the lighting.

    Cheers
