I was going to call this thread "surfers" but that seemed too narrow a definition.
This will encompass anyone that rides the waves.
Spent a week in Kill Devil Hills this year vacationing with family. To say this place is a target rich environment is an understatement.
All images in this thread were shot with the Olympus OMD EM5 Mk II and Olympus 75-300/4.8-6.7
The majority of the surfer and paddleboarder shots were taken in electronic shutter mode, which allowed the EM5 Mk II to shoot at an decent 11fps. EXIF data for 99% of the images were 1/2000, f/4.8 - f/6.7 at ISO 200-400. I shot short little bursts to allow for the focusing to be more precise. I saw no issues with warping from the use of the electronic shutter.
The bright beach sunlight was ample for the 75-300mm lens. The EM5 Mk II was sufficient, although I learned early that the C-AF was still worthless, and shooting S-AF is still the way to go. The EM1 with the PDAF and firmware 3.0 is still the sports action kind in the Olympus lineup.
