Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Ericeira, the first Reserve in Europe for Surfing and second in the world in one of the best point breacks.ReefTime
Photo was taken during the afternoon when the sun is practically facing the Portuguese coast, which has to be in opposite place to get good colors and not be against lightLighting
Because the Portuguese coast in the afternoon is facing the sun and to not get back light it is necessary to photograph on the side so as to stay with the sun on the back or the side but we can get always great colors.Equipment
I used my faithful Canon 7D and Canon lens 100-400Inspiration
Being Ericeira a World Surfing Reserve, besides the wonderful waves, the best sportsmen to challenge the waves appear. It's a matter of being on the spot in the right swell and waiting for the moment. Be local, amateur or professional is guaranteed good timesEditing
Yes, start with the most careful framing and slightly remove the highlights and change shadowsIn my camera bag
For sports just use my Canon 7D a Canon lens 100-400.Feedback
In the case of surfing is knowing when the swell appears, and being on site at the right time and wait for the right moment. Frames depends on the taste of the person and the material that has but the best way is to photograph the same spot from different angles until you find one that you like and you feel comfortable
