Fortune favours the brave...

As yesterday, and quite possibly into the start of next week, low pressure and high winds are sweeping most of the country. In spite of this, there are those who are only too keen to take advantage of conditions. Frankly, I'm surprised some people are only too willing to get out onto the sea in 50mph (plus) winds, but they seemed to cope well enough.

I'm only carrying a short zoom lens on this afternoon stroll, so good action shots are out of the question, but I am able to photograph kitesurfers in preparation as they negotiate their way into the waves. If the conditions remain the same, I'll be back again, tomorrow, this time with a telephoto lens.

18-35mm 3.5-4.5D Nikkor. 1/160 second at f/11. -0.33 EV compensation. ISO 400.
