I left the house on this overcast morning to head down to the Huntington Beach Pier to play with my 70-300mm VR lens and to capture some shots of the local surfers. I shot everything in RAW and I am not quite sure how I feel about the edits.

I have found it particularly hard to edit these shots as well as the ones that I took last week at the Bolsa Chica Conservancy. Both days were overcast and in both cases, the shots were taken from above and focusing on subjects that were in or on darker water.

Here are a couple from today. Tell me what you think.
