Surfing just before dawn. The water color comes from the dawn light reflecting off high clouds in the sky.

Panning and trying to keep the surfer in one spot in the frame produces the fluidity and quality to the water.

David, your style of using a slower shutter to photograph surfers is fantastic, I’d never thought of that before! This is a beautiful shot, you can almost FEEL the glassiness (is that a word?) of the water.
David Orias replied
Thanks Greg, yes that is a word that I have used before…... so it must be then, right?
