Tenerife is one of the most attractive surfing destinations for Europe and a nice place for photography. It has a great variety of beaches, big waves and good light.
The pictures bellow are done in Playa De Las Americas, Tenerife. The distance to the surfers was quite big - about 100 meters. So I decided to mount the teleconverter 2x (MC-20) on my Olympus 300mm F/4.0 in order to get close to the action.
I used manual mode with AUTO-ISO, exposure time 1/2000s, the combo wide open - F/8.0, C-AF and a group of 25 active focus points on my Olympus E-M1 Mark II.
I got very good results and a suprising keeper rate higher than 90%. The very long focal length helped me to get a good framing. I thought using the teleconverter will be a wrong decision because it will affect focus and the image quality, but it was not the case. I am very happy about the results I got, MC-20 made a big difference bringing the scene very close.
