Artist's Comments

Thought I would shoot something other than landscapes for a change. So I rocked up to Avoca Beach on sunrise and shot the local surfers. This is the first time I have shot surfers and it was great fun. Puts your skills to the test with exposure changes.

I shot the whole morning on manual settings as I didn't like the exposure I was getting on AV.

Taken with 70-200mm f2.8 lens.

Few other shots from this mornings shoot are on my blog.

Thanks... wasnt sure if I should have kept the detail in his face or make him more of a silhouette. Nice spot Avoca the rocks have an amazing colour about them.

Great capture, just like the other surf shots on your blog. You my friend are extremely taleneted.

i like the fact that you can see parts of his face..i reckon a silhouette would have made the photo lack its personality...if that makes sense :P
