Tension
THE SUBJECT:
A young bodyboarder shows the tension of the moment just before making a roll-over.
THE LOCATION:
This sports shot was made from my favourite rocky perch at the end of the breakwater at Town Beach, Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia on a great spring day.
THE MAKING OF ‘Tension’:
The time of day was perfect for the light and the break was in nice and close to the breakwater this day and most of the action was heading toward me which suited Milady Fuji just fine.
Fuji S9600: RAW, 1/1200sec @ f/4.9, Continuous focus, ISO80, Hand held.
Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop CS3.
Visit the Surfing collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more salty heroes.
Enjoy!
