artofheadshots 0 Posted May 24, 2003 Hi David, I have seen so many pictures of surfers that seem redundant, I usually don't find them interesting. Your version is unique you caught the wave before it became foamy which is original and far more interesting than a splashing wave. Having clouds adds to the picture as well, which ofter surfing photgraphers fail to find. Your cropping style is also excellent, it draws the viewer right into the subject. I also find this picture active, involving and exciting. 7/7 Link to comment
darryn patch sydney austr 0 Posted May 26, 2003 I just noticed its titled the box, I take it its the surf spot the box just north of margarets river. You are shooting in the water with a fisheye, Mate you are freakin crazy I've surfed the box and it is one heavy duty wave that will kick your ass so hard if you come off. And for you to be shooting in the wall of the wave makes you crazy. My mate Tim Jones shoots here alot when in WA and he wont go near the place with anything less than a 50mm lens your nuts man, but it's a sick shot. One heaving keg. Link to comment
david_troyer 0 Posted May 26, 2003 Tim's a friend of mine as well. He also swims the Box with a fisheye. In fact we were both out there that session together. And yes, Tim is crazy too. I am glad you can appreciate the heavieness of that spot! Link to comment
darryn patch sydney austr 0 Posted May 27, 2003 Tim was always crazy I remember him riding a bodyboard at waimea shorey 12 foot bombs and him just getting smashed. Lst I heard he got nailed in Tahiti during last years billabong pro. I haven't seen him for about 5 years but he is the best water photographer on the planet. Next time your in Sydney drop me an email I am usually shooting the Island at Cronulla when its on. The Shark Island Challenge is on in 6 weeks definatly worth a few sickies from work to catch the action. Link to comment

jesus wong 0 Posted August 4, 2003 I would love to see a picture or YOU taking those pictures! I thought that taking pics of a waterskier from a boat was a little difficult, but you proved it to be a piece of cake in comparison. Great job!!! Link to comment
