The story behind this picture is as follow :
I arrived on the beach 1 hour in advance to take a few test pictures to get my settings right. I had to move a few times as people where just getting in the way and i didn't want anyone too close in the picture. In that afternoon i think i talked to 5 or 6 different people who were curious about what i was doing and who i was working for. I simply told them that i was taking pictures to learn more about photography.

I was very lucky that a couple of surfboarders were taking a picture in front of my frame just when the sun came down from the clouds. In post prod i gave some dramatic look to the clouds by darkening them a bit.

Wonderful photos bro :)
nice. bet your cannot take that camera out to surf.
The distant figures add to the photo (at least for me) - i have a similar pic showing the wet & golden foreground with a throng of pilgrims at sunrise: 3rd pic down: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@e-steem/travel-to-live-giving-back-along-the-way-spread-happiness-wherever-you-go
Great job, not many ppl post their cam settings. Much appreciated
I can say that your photography is awesome, im also a beginner into photography and i think setting and quality of lens highly matters in photography. Creativity and viewing angle is the main part i have seen in ur picture!!
