Beauty by Necessity: Jeffreys Bay Speed Blurs

I live in Jeffreys Bay and take my dogs (and camera) for walks every dawn and dusk in the low light before and after work.

1/6 second: Derek Hynd in the late evening...I was sceptical about the no fin thing, but he's got it pretty down by now

I live in Jeffreys Bay and take my dogs (and camera) for walks every dawn and dusk in the low light before and after work. I end up shooting a lot of these speed blurs primarily out of necessity more than choice, but to be honest, taking front-lit surf action shots doesn’t get me overly excited. I’d rather be surfing. It can be quite challenging both with the actual photo taking and post processing to try and produce the photo that you want, but I like how you can create images that the naked eye can’t see. I hope you enjoy them.
