You have done well with your long lens to make it an in the water shot. My sort of surf photography. What was the lens/lenses used to geet 2400 mm ? and f/8 but quick exposure says your lens must be fast? Patrick

These numbers are weird - the focal length is 240mm

I never understand Nikon numbers regarding image settings.
You took it so your image you still have will tell you?

It is just VB that puts the focal length like this ....otherwise it is like with all the other cameras

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken from the San Clemente Pier in Southern California.

Time

I took this image about 10am in the morning, facing North

Lighting

No additional lighting, just the natural light of the early morning hours.

Equipment

Nikon D5300, 55-300MM Nikkor (kit) lens.

Inspiration

I love watching the waves. Sometimes, when I am 'bored' shooting surfing photos or in between, I take some photos of the waves rolling in.

Editing

Post processed with NIK Collection (now available for free)

In my camera bag

My Nikon D5300, 16-55mm and 55-300mm lens (Nikkor)

Feedback

Be patient, take many photos, watch how the waves roll in and take many photos until you know when to push the shutter.
