Shore Lb. Thro Down Skimboard Contest

The Adventure Photography and Photo Walks Group spent Labor Day photographing the local annual Skinboard Competition in Vero Beach, FL. Our challenge this month was the capturing the FAST ACTION using higher shutter speeds. The spray off the boards makes for some spectacular abstract patterns! Always a good time even though it was VERY HOT!!
