So, I'm not a beach babe.
Hate the sand.
Hate the heat.
But I love the waves and the sea!
My new inspiration is to shoot the waves in motion, panning as they curl over and crash down, trying to get that perfect moment in the motion, just as the light catches the inner wave.
Its tricky photography. Panning a moving wave is not easy. And for the most part, the focal point moves, so the focus is soft.
But every now and then I hit gold!!
I became inspired by David Orias's photos of waves. His work is incredible.

David shoots with a long lens, and he manages to pan perfectly. I have a 200mm, and panning is still a new technique for me. The idea too is to be there at the prime time for the best light to hit the waves. And in Durban, sometimes that time is rain time!! So shooting is out!
Here are some of my efforts:
