Nice to see a proper quality picture, with natural colours, a good subject, sharp and properly exposed. Excellent, gets my vote.

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at the Billabong championship in Jefferiesbay, South Africa

Time

It was later in the afternoon to get the sun on the back of the surfer.

Lighting

Normally it takes place in the winter months so the light is not to bright and nice in soft coz the African light is very bright and hard on photos.

Equipment

I used the Canon 50D with a 500mm Sigma lens on tri-pod to follow the surfer.

Inspiration

A day out in the see and sun with action on the weaves was the inspiration.

Editing

I use a noise removal tool and for the final touches I use Photoshop.

In my camera bag

I use Canon Equipment

Feedback

Look and learn from others.. never stop taking photos cos you will always learn from it and have a winner like this one.
