The Matrix on Water

[Sir Tristram]

Going through a bunch of photo's from 2 weeks ago and came across this. Thought it worth sharing. C&C.

[owen]

Great shot, but even better with the title you gave it

[Slider]

Absolutlely Brilliant. Well caught

[Sir Tristram]

Thanks for the comments Owen and Slider. It just looked so much like a move Mr Anderson would pull I had to throw that label on it.

[LOZ]

WOW what a fantastic capture have you considered approaching the board manufacture with this shot could be worth the effort?


LOZ

[Oneputt]

Here is another one from the set of the same surfer for OnePutt.

[Willy wombat]

[ABG]

Just awesome. As others have said, these should be published.

[obzelite]

ditto above. guy on the board must have a bot of talent as well.

[Yi-P]

WoW the surfer pops out from the image!!

[Link]

Awesome shot, one of the best surf picture I've seen for a long time!

Link.

[Jeff]

As the others have said great shot. What beach was it taken. You must have been close to the action or has been heavily cropped?

Jeff

[xerubus]

awesome work... very well done. definitely magazine/advertising material.

congrats.

cheers

[Sir Tristram]

Thanks everyone. The shot was taken at Nth Narrabeen at the waters edge with a 300mm f2.8 and a 1.7 Teleconvertor. So as it wasn't full frame it wasn't all that severly cropped either.

Regards

[Geoff]

Fantastic - I don't remember having the shot taken of me though!?

[Sheila Smart]

I dream of taking images such as this. Well done indeed.

Cheers
Sheila

[Sir Tristram]

Well we something in common Sheila, I'd love to take some of the "people" shots you take. Thanks for looking.

[stubbsy]

Like the others I think this is one awesome image of saleabale quality. I'm guessing you didn't get a model release from the surfer though. I'd say it may be worth your while trying to track him down & get him to sign one.

[graphite]

I lvoe them as well. Incredibly clear shots. I was going to say that #2 is my favorite, but after looking at them again, I dont think I could choose between the two.

[Sir Tristram]

Thanks Stubbsy and Graphite.


Stubbsy, what is a model release form? And most importantly where do I get one?

[ABG]

Look here, here and here.

[Alpha_7]

Look here, here and here.

On the Ball Andrew, good work.

Tristram if you regularly visit the beach try to find that guy again, keep 4 or 5 of these in your camera bag at all times you don't know when they'll come in handy.

[Sir Tristram]

Thanks Andrew for the leads. The trouble I have is that say I take 150 photos of say 30 different surfers on the day and I really don't know which ones are usable until I see them on the PC monitor at home well after the event, it is not feasible to have all 30 surfers sign a MRF, what do you do???

Any advice to this novice is greatly appreciated.

[avkomp]

good stuff john.
this was another favourite from the surf shots.

interestingly between us we have quite a few shots of this manouver as it was taking shape.

Its funny because we got lots of shots with the surfers attempting various KATA whilst in motion.

this was another with the pose and facial expression.

Wow! I love those shots. You did really well here! Great DOF and well composed indeed.

[ABG]

Great series in your gallery Steve. You guys should definitely be knocking on the door of the surfing publications.
