Surfing Impressions

As a sports/action photographer I'm always on the lookout for different ways to shoot sports, in this case surfing. Once the sun goes down I switch to a panning technique that works well in low light. In contrast to the high speed/stop action shots, this process smooths the wave, imparts a sense of speed and ultimately produces more of an "impressionistic" image of the sport.

So different from you needle sharp water sprays. I like the mood it imparts. "VV"

I really like the effect you're getting with the panning and slow shutter speed.

The slow shutter speed combined with the somewhat desaturated color really gives this an artistic look. ~BV~
