Originally posted by Chris Hewgill A difficult shot of a surfer in a tube on a dangerous rock break wave in Australia. This action shot was taken hand held on a rock precariously perched close to the ocean, I used a method of holding my elbows together to reduce lens movement, although this lens is heavy and coupled with that I had to race to safety every now and then from exploding swells. The surfer's yellow board also highlights the colour against the wave, which is inches from rocks underneath the wave..
I think it's amazing where you had to place your camera in order to get this shot angle.
