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
Re uploaded with the correct white balance as promised.
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.
The annual Super Surfer Girl competition was held this weekend in Oceanside, CA. It's an event I attend yearly for good reason. It's a great photo opportunity for not only the surfers but for the many candid photos I get of the fishermen and women. There's a live band and plenty of booths with free samples of different types of drinks mostly. The day started off foggy in the early morning and the judging had to be postponed until about 10 when the fog lifted. The rest of the day was bright and sunny.

The Guinness Book of World Records recognized a 78 feet (23.8 m) wave ride by Garrett McNamara at Nazaré, Portugal as the largest wave ever surfed.
