Classic surf moment: Pastel Flash

I shot this one of Jamie Obrien a few years ago, using an assistant, swimming with a remote flash. The concept is simple. My camera has a transmitter on it and the flash has a receiver attached so that when I fire my camera, the flash will trigger at the same time. Most photog’s who have used this technique tend to fill the frame with the action. I wanted to show the beauty of the sunset, so I made that the main feature of the image with the flashed subject small in the image. The surfer is non other than modern day Pipe master; Jamie Obrien.
