D. C. Elliott
Skimboarding Ollie*
Captured during a very nice day at the beach escaping sweltering heat in the city. Two lads put on a show of skimboarding and I was lucky to capture this perfect moment at the end of a ride when wave, spray and surfer all hung suspended in defiance of gravity.
Crop of this shot and a very similar one can be found here. Looks great on white.
I'm very pleased with the reception this photo has received from all my kind viewers. This was one of the first real shooting challenges I have had with my new kit, a Canon 30D and an EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lense. This combination worked very well for stopping action. If you look closely, you can see this lad is wearing Hanes boxers!
*An "Ollie" is a skateboard trick where the rider pops the front of the board in the air, first ascribed to Alan "Ollie" Gelfand back in 1977. You just had to know that, didn't you?
