[Leica] Surfing Safari

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

Since there were large waves predicted for Oceanside, CA the last few 
days, we took a trip there yesterday when there was no rain predicted.? 
Armed with only my 24-120mm I had to crop a bit to get what I wanted.? 
Since the beach to the north of the pier was closed due to unsafe 
conditions all the surfing was to the south of the pier so we were 
looking into the sun for the most part. And due to some work on the 
pier, the whole south side was blocked with a chain link fence, but 
holding the lens right to the fence and shooting wide open the links of 
the chain pretty much disappeared.? Will take some work to get them to 
look presentable, but here are a few shots.

There was quite the crowd there, but there were a few locals out 
watching the show.? (North side so no fence)
