Making waves

  Jul 29, 2015   General

When shooting waves my approach is to burst a few frames in the field for each wave and select the most photogenic ones later in post production. Oftentimes I’m asked what the discarded frames look like so I’ve made a few animated gifs to show you the preceding and following images that makes up each burst. The selection of the keepers is obviously a matter of personal taste.
