A brisk offshore wind blew up this afternoon so I took the SX70 down to the beach.
This cleaned up the waves for the boardriders and kept salt spray off my lens.
When I tried this a few years ago with the SX60 the experience was not a happy one. I could not persuade the camera to focus on the boardriders at all.
The SX70 works much better giving a much higher percentage of decent shots.
I even had a go at BIF with the terns which were swooping and diving between the surfers.
I got a few frames with the bird in frame and decently in focus. Results are good enough for species identification and small print output.
