Normally I shoot watersports by sticking a big telephoto on front of a big camera and stand on the beach and wait for something to come my way. Like this:

A telephoto is also useful to turn sideways and get candid beach shots…

But the other day I didn’t have the big camera or a big lens, so I waded out into the sea with the DP1 and caught Craig bearing down on me.

Made for a different angle than using a telephoto, although I don’t think I could get away with taking a similar shot of a Russian beach babe.
