More surfing (in 85 degree water)

It does not get any better than this, we just got back from a little side trip to the Caribbean and now back on the west coast, the water over here on this side is about 85. Crazy!
So I geared up my water housing for my camera (its been about 12 months since I've used it!) and headed out to catch all of us surfing. I think that Luke won the "coolest shot" today. Here are just a few fav's I wanted to post as I'm sleep-typing. Its late and I need to get to bed, we wake at 5:00am to hit it up and surf again in the morning.

Tonight, we surfed under moonlight and not only was that super cool, but it(water & air) was hot too! I cannot believe how soothing it was. It felt about as warm as when your in bed in the morning, and you don't want to leave the warmth to get up. Dan & I came paddled out last, wishing we could stay out all night and surf!


Always gotta get the self portrait!


Just as we were about to drive away , the moon came out above the clouds and lit up the night sky! We ended up taking photos for about 20-30 minutes and came away with some sweet ones, I think this is one of my fav's. Camera Details: ISO 1250, Shutter speed 1/2 second to one second, and the aperture was at 2.8. I was laying on the sand to get the shot. It was surreal tonight. God painted the most amazing sunset and moon rise at the same time. For a Photographer, having the same quantity of light come from opposite horizons was pretty cool!



Have a great week...
