WINDSURF... Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I took this picture in one of the most famous beaches to practise windsurf... El Salvador... one of the more poor countries of the world... the tourists can practise this difficult sport... difficult to understand...

I hope you like it!

Hello Angie,

Nicely composed, and timing of surfer surrounded by crashing wave, and ideal for positioning surfer at edge rather than center.

I also enjoy windsurfing, which is surfing's cousin and has the advantage of not requiring wave action.

Thanks for sharing,

Ray

Gemma,
A luminosidade está com um trato muito bonito. Gosto também do enquadramento, com o rapaz fora de centro. Linda fotografia!

Abraço

ciao Gemma,

how is el salvador?? it's not the most famous tourist spot of that area....therefore it's good that somebody provides us with some images from down there.

I like this shot (I did something similar in Jeffrey's bay SA with my old compact camera...) because the image is pretty dynamic and sharp

well done

Good Morning Gemma,

On this rainy day in England, this looks like a very tempting scene!
You have composed it well, considering the rule of 'thirds'. There is a wonderful suggestion of movement though the images are sharp, without motion blur.
I like the different hues of the water as it surges and breaks.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hola otra ve, Gemma.

Sencilla pero muy correcta foto con una muy buena composición pero una exposición difícil aunque puede que un poco mejorable.
Fíjate como la figura del hombre está demasiado oscura (el postprocesado puede cambiarlo).

Carlos.

Hi Gemma,
it`s very interesting to see photos from El Salvador, a country i don`t know so much about. It looks perfect for surfing and i like your composition, with the surfer to the right in the photo. Thanks for sharing !
Best regards.
Boa

Hola Gemma -->

Interesante momento en una foto con buenos colores,
no me hubiera importado ver la línea del horizonte
en el encuadre, la luz también está bien controlada.

Un saludo amiga y hasta pronto.

Bonjour Gemma.
C'est une photo d'un paysage très dynamique avec ce rouleau qui vient vers nous tout en portant le surfer.
Belle lumière sur la vague !
Amicalement
Jacques

Hola Gemma.
Muy buena foto con el surfer en la rompiente ola, me gusta como se ve la espuma blanca y los diferentes colores del mar, el foco esta perfecto así como la buena iluminacion.
Te deseo una Feliz Navidad y un año 2010 lleno de mucha salud y prosperidad.
Saludos.

Hi Gemma,

An excellent surfing picture. Your timing was very good and the boy almost in silhouette in his colorful shorts is really great. TFS and Feliz año nuevo!
