This is a random surfer that walked right through my composition on purpose. He stepped up next to me standing next to my tripod and pulled his wetsuit up over his torso. He turned and looked at me as if to say "Here I go" waited for a wave to pass and then disappeared into the surf. I think he knew I was gonna grab a shot. Thanks, "dude" :)

We are reaching the penultimate station now.
You can see an interpretation of the very dynamic station "Am Hart" with this wonderful wavy lamp. Made for surfers, who are not afraid of very cold water :-)
Metro Blues # 13
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 took this around Christmas time and posted it here as a New Year's card. It's one of my faves, I saw this guy from the other side of the pier and ran under the pier to get him posing in the sun on the other side. He stood there about 5 minutes and never noticed me behind him.
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.

Lenny?
I met this guy, owned a Landcruiser and surfed: Told him I would email him photos but I must have written it wrong. Near Camel rock in Trinidad.
If you know him let me know
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!
