Photographer’s Note
This is a second photo from the surfcasting seminar.
This is a “pendulum” type of cast.
On the picture is the instructor named Neil Mackellow, who was a world champion (1995) on the particular sport.
You can see the lead on the right edge of the picture and the tension the rod has as it loads. This is an advanced type of cast used mostly in rocky shores, where the lead should not be on the ground at all!
The casting distance that can be achieved is over than 230 meters (754 feet).
This photo is cropped to the size that captures the moment...

Great pic of a decisive moment! A great composition, and the tree behind the subject is good to capture the sight more on him. Interesting notes. Good work! Livia

I like the low perspective in the shot. It helps add to the drama of his pose as he casts the line. Very nice!
