This afternoon I thought I'd go down to Alexandra Headlands and give my new 8 gig card a try while there was a few surfer's about.

I won't bore you with too many but here's a nice series you might enjoy.

Nice series Bob. Makes me want to attempt surfing again...nearly :)
I like the saturation in these images, colours are beautiful and vibrant!

Nice series, I like the first one the best, but I could see this working well were you have one shot enlarge quiet big, and the other shots smaller but displayed in sequence below, all matted and framed. Do you know the guy surfing ? If you did I'd approach him see if he'd like prints, or enlargment framed ?

Yesterday when I was taking these pics off the rocks at Alex a couple of very hot!! little bikini babe surfers smiled and waved as they arrived and prepared to get in the water with their boards. I figured they probably just wanted me to take their pics.

Anyway, this morning when I went for my coffee at "Raw Energy" I took a couple of A4 prints done on Crane Museo Silver Rag to show my mate Brian. It was my shout and the little blonde who served me said " Bob was that you taking the pics at Alex yesterday". Turns out she was one of the hot!! babes - the one in the red bikini. So I showed her the pics I had in hand and her boss Geoff (also a keen surfer) came over to see also.
They both instantly recognised the surfer who is a local and ex national longboard champion. They both loved pic No. 2 above and insist he will want to buy it from me.
I am going to spend a bit more time on this pic in PP and print it on my Epson 2400 on A3+ "silver rag"

How much should I charge this guy for the Pic?
Interested in what you all think.
