Title:	Surf, sun, runners
Gear used:	OM-4 + 135/3.5
Diaphragm:	Not recorded
Shutter speed:	Not recorded
Film used:	Fujicolor 100ASA
Technical information:	Exposure based on a simple centre-weighted reading, to bring out detail on the surf, and put the other details into shadow.
Subject information:	Taken in Crystal Cove, Southern California. I was standing on the path that leads down from the cliff to the beach, and took several shots of the surf patterns as the waves came in. This has been cropped slightly to put the figures closer to the lower right hand corner.

Those waves are a lot bigger than I thought at first. If it weren't for the two people in that shot that perspective would probably have gotten lost. Nice shot!

Very interesting perspective - I thought at first the figures were superimposed, then realized the surf is at a greater distance than I originally thought! Well done!

I love the patterns in the water. The runners are too buried in the shadows for me.

Agree with Jim Caldwell, and like very much the pattern on which the runners move.
