The Pass by bensound
The Pass at Byron Bay in NSW, Australia.
Part of my ‘surf’ series, which are mostly photographed using the same technique.
Pentax K5, DA* 50-135 f2.8 lens at 65mm, f7.1
I should probably mention that my technique for this series involves setting up the camera on a tripod and taking two exposures – a short one of around 1/200 and then screwing on a ten stop ND filter while the camera is still on the tripod with exactly the same framing and taking a looong exposure of about 15 seconds, and then combining the two exposures in photoshop.
Other than that there is no manipulation.

That’s amazing, buddy, a fabulous addition to your series!
Amazing photography Ben, so well conceived.
Love it Ben, love it.
What a great shot! Was this a lucky one or was the surfer playing around in the waves for a bit?
Amazing shot, great in black and white!

You have a wonderful imagination, Ben… and clearly, the skill to bring it to life. This is sensational. Bravo!!!
Thanks Mieke. I hear from Mel that your exhibition is magnificent. Congratulations.
