PhotograPhy<br />
IS a Strange<br />
thing...<br />
LATEST: IMAGES<br />
Anytime you're capturing something<br />
at a fraction of a second - particularly<br />
an activity as dynamic as surfing - the<br />
potential exists to distort reality.<br />
Thus, an image of a perfect wave on a<br />
perfect day might easily fail to convey<br />
the full experience of actually being<br />
there, while a fortuitous convergence<br />
of light and action can turn a sub-par<br />
session into something special.<br />
Take the following selection of<br />
images, for example. Small swell,<br />
bad wind, and crappy weather all<br />
made for good excuses to scrub the<br />
evening session - both from a surf and<br />
photographic point of view. But rather<br />
than calling it a day, photog Matt<br />
Shepherd and I ran the boat down to<br />
a slabby little corner of reef that was<br />
bending just enough to blow offshore.<br />
There, with a 40-pound dive housing,<br />
an hour of sunset backlighting,<br />
and ISO ramped up to 1600, Shepo<br />
found something worth shooting.<br />
Sometimes the only thing worth<br />
writing off is expectation.<br />
