Sunset Surfing

Live and learn I guess. I used to be really selective about sunset surfing sessions; waiting for just the right colorful skies. But I've been experimenting with heading to the beach under different lighting conditions, like here where the marine layer was moving in creating this deep, gray background with still some nice light for the waves. I kinda liked the result and just goes to show that there is really no bad light or sky.

It looks so refreshing on a hot day like this

He looks like he owns the sea the way it is open for him with spray that is like a halo!
This is magical and the sky is a perfect element also!

I really like the contrast of the dark sky and the bright white surf. Getting the surfer in the green with the spray behind him was the icing on the cake. VV

I love the variations in the colors of the ocean against the grey sky. The composition with the surfer in the dark aqua between the frothy waves is very eye catching.

the plumes of spray show well against the dark sky, and almost steal the scene from the intrepid surfer...living on the coast it's best to deal with all the vagaries of weather..

You are right about that! This is such a lovely dynamic image.

Show me one of your not so great pictures. This is definitely not one of them. Nice wave action and spray. V

Without a colorful sky your eyes are immediately drawn to the beautiful color of the wave. Very pretty.

I love the way you captured him in what looks like a channel that has less foam and spray in order for him to surf through. Gorgeous image! ~BV~

Striking contrast between the blue of the wave and the gray sky and ocean. Love all that spray, too.
