The last surfer leaves the water after sunset in the surfer's paradise of the Playa Famara/Lanzarote.
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

Have a great & fun weekend!
Alittle selective coloring on a shot from yesterday. Caught this photographer down by the shoreline getting some shots of the waves and surfers. :)
HFF too.
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!
