Photo of the day Pastel Flash

Today’s photo of the day comes from right out in front of Jamie Obrien’s pad at Pipeline. He and I were dabbling one evening with the remote flash. I had Jamie’s buddy Ruben swim out with the remote flash unit and aim it back towards me. Because the sky was so vivid with twilit pastels, I decided to pull right back and make the sky the main part of the image and the plan was to try to capture a cutback or something like. There were hardly any waves at all. I think he caught just 2 waves. This was one of just 2 images that we harvested from the endeavor. I love this picture though. It cast’s a glowing highlight across a classic surf manouver in a whole different way while also making nature the main star of the image.

    pocket wizards and the flash in a housing with the wizard on top for best signal potential.
