My first outing with my new Sigma 150-500mm lens. The surf at Alex Heads wasn't anything to rave about but this guy was carving it up none the less. I tried surfing when I was a whole heap younger, however, I found it too hard and expensive and gave up and bought a body-board! So I very much appreciate the skill involved in surfing, especially when I look at surfers like this. So with my surf photography I seek to capture not just a surfer riding a wave, but a surfer owning the wave. And for me the 'decisive moment' is that point in which a surfer is able to make the wave their own and not be simply propelled along by mother nature.
