Impressive waves and shots. I think (edit:#3) would look perfect in a square format without all the white foreground.

Great shots at Pipe. I really like that first one. Just curious, I do you see many others out at Pipe shooting Pentax?

The second one was a great catch. Love the series.

Yeah, that is a photog in the water. There were about 5-6 of them or so. The reef is pretty shallow there so I have to wonder if duck diving even helps them. They probably have to dive for the bottom and hang on to the reef itself.

Nope, the only other person I've seen at Pipe with a Pentax is a friend of mine and we usually go together. I have seen the occasional visitor with one, but it's almost always with a kit lens. Pipe is dominated by white lenses with a few Nikonians.

I figured as much. Way to represent!

Actually, now that I think about it, I did see a guy there with a 6X7 and a 600mm f5.6(?). That was a few years back...
