Waterworld

Paolo De Faveri

Waterworld

I took this picture a couple of years ago at the beach of Marina di Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy.
This is a fine example I think of how a fisheye lens can completely change the feeling of an ordinary scene. The subject is simply some surf on the seashore, captured from a distance of not more than a foot.
The original picture is a Fuji Velvia 50 Iso medium format slide.

Hope you enjoy it, thanks for dropping by.

    a thought-provoking image!
    looks like the world seen from outer space, with the foam of the waves looking like clouds in a dark atmosphere. the sunset glow contrasts nicely with the foreground due to the warm tones of the sky.
    amazing shot!
