beyond sky blue...

This afternoon I again tried some kiteboarding (and for the second time returned with a sliced foot - dirty hidden rocks). It'd been so long since the last outing that I'd forgotten most of the technique with the kite, so it was like learning it all over again. I did manage to stand up on the board for a few seconds though, heh \o/

After thoroughly wearing myself out I relaxed and took some pics of people who know what they're doing:

Kite Fu

This pic doesn't do justice to the full version.

I've now got the hang of the camera's metering system and it's becoming easier to obtain consistent shots. On this particular occasion I decided to take the photos while standing in the water. Although this may seem (whilst holding thousands of dollars worth of moisture-sensitive electronic equipment) like a crazy idea, it's much safer than standing on the beach where sand is being blown everywhere. It also affords some interesting and unexpected photo opportunities:

Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!

That's all for now. Over and out.
