airbutchie Not too crunchy  More info | Jul 23, 2015 13:01 | #5 Hey Craig... Big fan of your portaiture work, good sir... I'd like to add to the C&C's of your introductory surfing photography... Shoot at a lower perspective... There's a subtle difference when shooting standing up and shooting while you're sitting on the sand... Case in point below:   Tunnel Vision... by Air Butchie, on FlickrSitting on the sand, perspective:  Welcome to the Kanoa AIR SHOW!!! by Air Butchie, on FlickrYou get two benefits of 'sitting on the sand'... One... You can play with DOF between waves/structures behind the surfer... And Two... If they take off/aerial jumps off the wave, they seem to go higher because of your FOV... Hehehe... Food for thought, Craig... Can't wait to see more captures from you...  Hi. My name is Butch...

I think about this for all other forms of photography subjects, but I hadn't considered it for surfing.

airbutchie Not too crunchy More info Post edited over 8 years ago by airbutchie. | Jul 23, 2015 15:47 | #7 ^ All good, Bryan... Sharing is caring!!! On that note, there is also hazards when shooting at a lower perspective... People sometimes walk/run during your shot... Sometimes birds and beach patrol vehicles, too... Just an FYI... Hi. My name is Butch...
