Back in May

Seems like ancient history. These were taken 6 months ago at Shelly Beach, Ballina.

The late afternoon sun was throwing a lot of light straight onto the surfers.

The light was very harsh (hard) as evidenced by the shadow of the surfer cast on the wave face in #3.

Nice efforts.

Nice photos Chris. I know how hard it is to get the sun in right location and the surfers facing vaguely towards the camera and then take a well composed photograph. I spent some time earlier this year taking photos of the surfers on "the one day of the year" that there was a swell at Port Fairy in Victoria.
With that experience behind me I can appreciate how well you have done with these photos. Well done

Thanks for looking, John.

Many thanks, Martin. Yes, I have tried to capture surfers in action only twice. With summer nearly here, I aim to give it another try!

Thanks again.
