Sliding Over Glass
THE SUBJECT:
A young bodyboarder , so watchful of the wave, was photographed as he make a lovely water sculpture as he cuts through the wave.
You can see another shot of this young man doing some Drop-Knee action here
THE LOCATION:
From my cold, hard rocky perch halfway down the face of the breakwater at Town Beach in Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia, late on a winter afternoon.
THE MAKING of ‘Sliding Over Glass’:
When all conditions are right, there are a lot of great shots to be made at this spot at that time of day and year as the low sun acts like a warm spotlight over the area.
