The last surfer leaves the water after sunset in the surfer's paradise of the Playa Famara/Lanzarote.
It was a windy evening on Sanibel Beach, and the waves were beginning to swell, but this Snowy Egret marched along the beach, presumably looking for a small crab or other snack.
Sunrise at 6:15am, on the very popular Main Beach, just slightly to the south of Cavill Ave.
There are no foreground subjects like a headland or rock outcrops hereabouts to create more interest, so I was fortunate to encounter partial scattered cloud cover, which morphed beautifully in shape, light and colour during the shoot.
This is one of a sequence of 200 remotely fired shots of this event, over 50 minutes from 5:58 till 6:48am. A rookie experiment for sure! Tripod as low down as I could manage in the sand, and surrounded by water with the incoming waves – a little scary. My only work with a GND filter.
Timing and angle sorted by using 'The Photographer's Ephemeris', which is a good tool for anticipating lighting conditions – shotkit.com/photographers-ephemeris/
A photographer told me that the only way to do this properly was to get wet. She was right!
There are photographers on Flickr who do beautiful work along this beach, or shooting towards it from further south, at various times of the day. It always generates the most wonderful atmosphere, in all conditions.
I caught this shot at Key West Beach at Mullaloo. A typical shot of young surfers standing in the dunes looking down at the surf and deciding whether the surf is good enough today
"Surfin' is the only life the only way for me
Now surf, surf with me
Bom bom dip di dit
Bom bom dip di dit
From the early morning to the middle of the night
Any time the surf is up the time is right
And when the surf is down to take its place
We'll do the surfer's stomp, it's the latest dance craze"

When exiting the water the surfer clocked me (Steven ) lol and looked straight into my lens and waved and smiled which made my day....a bit of friendliness goes a very long way....
I didn't have a long lens with me so used the longest I had at the time which happened to be a Sigma 105mm Macro Lens but it did the job...

Please forgive any late thank you comments as my weekend was horrible...just trying to get my head straight again but I really do thank you all for your continued support and encouragement... Sue x
Ps Flickr is exceptionally slow and I keep getting bad panda page...I went on the discussions and left a comment as apparently it is becoming an issue yet again.
I was fascinated to watch just how long these surfers would stay out trying to catch one last wave before darkness took over. They outlasted me and stayed until the sun was well below the horizon!
Happy Nice Wonderful Clouds Tuesday!
I went to the beach today and it was a warm day as well as the sea water. In Portugal, it was the first time I´ve been on the beach in Ouctober.
Wish you a great week, my friends:)
