[PT-Lakey Peak, Sumbawa]

Pictured is Joss Ash and it was shot back in January on our month long "avoid the frozen British winter" trip to Indo. It was a real Groundhog Day trip - wake up at 6am, go to the restaurant for six cups of tea and poached eggs on toast whilst waiting for the tide, get in the water 8ish, swim the lagoon, shoot for three hours, swim the lagoon back, banana pancake, nap, lunch, another shoot, nap, dinner, sleep. And repeat x 25. I was shooting a lot of long lens from the water as it's a technique I've not used in years and felt things were getting a bit stale with the fisheye. It opens up angles you can't get with the fishy like this one. Shooting from behind is really tricky - you can't see the surfer (especially looking into the sun) until they boost - so composition is hard, then getting a focus lock is a mission, if there's too much spray it ruins the shot, etc. A million things to go wrong, so when it comes together you're pretty stoked. I love the clouds in this shot and the position of the sun actually works well, gives it an Icarus kind of vibe.

	I've gotta say Dane's is awesome! man, he's pulling out stuff that shouldn't even exist, and the way he surfs contests ...by far the next level!! I've seen him getting tens, 10's! with only two maneuvers -air after air- who does that? experts are doubting his humanity -freak!- what else can I say, in personal opinion as a progressive surfer i look up to him. he Shreds!!!

	RadXCor221 days ago	Reply
	Yeah dude. #5 is epic. #13 is pretty cool too. I like to see a glimpse of the shore in pics like this. It helps add contrast to the wicked air these dudes are getting.

	SurfingsAsource221 days ago	Reply
	number 5 is one of my all time favourites. everything about it is perfect, the colour contrast...
