Surfer near Fort Point

I was out testing a Canon 100-400mm IS L Lens and spotted some surfers. This is just a crop from the full frame. It's been sharpened because at 400mm, this lens is a bit soft.

Like my previous attempts at shooting surfers, most of the time surfers paddle around on their boards and yak. About every fifth wave someone might ride one of these little ditties. But the other thing is how old some of these guys are. A lot of bald heads and hanging paunches.

The 100-400mm is definitely an outside only lens. It's just too slow and the push-pull zoom is very annoying. It's also big and heavy and white.
