Early Sun and Surf

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted April 5, 2010494 views13 comments

I'm on a bit of a Mexican vacation to visit my brother in law and sister in law in Puerto Escondido. I'm not taking too many photos, but it is pretty hard to resist walking down the steps to these rocks at sunrise to see what the light is doing...or go surfing. Either way.

The dude on the rock is my bro in law Brock. This is 4 different images blended together to create the ghostly wave effect.

The water looks great - almost floating over the rocks. Very dynamic and the lines everywhere go great together.

That's a really cool effect Sean using the stacked images. Nice light on your bro.

Beautiful light, comp and perspective here. My only wish is to see a bit more of your bro in law, obviously this would be under ideal scenario, probably not even possible unless you were to direct him.

I like the comp and colors. It would have been nice to have some better clouds but still a great shot.

Interesting use of multiple images. I would have never thought to use them in such a way, and it works well. The line of clouds leads one's eye to your bro in law. Very cool shot.

Cool on-rushing wave Sean, and I like how the cloud points to Brock on the rocks. Congrats on the EP!
