Beautiful shots @Jett129

@motojobobo Thank you so much!
-
@Jett129 Amazing pics and even better since they are local.

My fave…
…the chunk of solid yellowish ‘ceiling’ of water is something else.
Ermmm, not that citizen of a land-locked country is much of a judge on sea water. -
@motojobobo Thank you. If the wave wasn't all around him then he'd have been a silhouette,and that's what accounts for that color. And instead of trying to minimize the yellow,when editing, I leaned into it.

Posting this so @weftyarn and @motojobobo can see what the lighting was like and why the wave had the yellowish color.

@weftyarn Ironically,some of the surfers have complained that my pictures are too tight and I should zoom out more,while some of the other surfers told them you should shut the fuck up and be happy someone is taking pictures of you. If possible I want to see the surfers face. They want more of the wave etc.
-
@weftyarn I send all the surfers,who ask, their pictures for free. They occasionally offer me money to which I always reply…Just do something nice for someone else. One of their suggestions was that I include some of the scene/people/umbrellas etc. on the beach. They know absolutely nothing about photographic composition. It would be like me telling them how to surf. Most of the guys are super nice and appreciative.

Very cool stuff @Jett129 . I never realized that mustardy yellow color was a backlit wall of water as the faces of the surfers are nicely lit too. Guess there is just tons of light bouncing around.

I see. Can relate to the money part. I’m sometimes shooting friends’ weddings as a „hidden backup guy that nobody knows about“. People have suggested me being the only photographer and asking money for it. But that would take away 80% of the fun and probably 90% of the picture quality as people would then expect to be photographed. And people that expect to be photographed never look good. Except they’re actors / models or just talented haha.
