Category Finalist 2010: SanDisk sequence

Jeremy Koreski

I've been shooting a lot of surfing with Peter Devries, and we are always trying to mix things up with different angles, lighting, locations and so on. This location on Vancouver Island is actually at the beach where Peter grew up.

This evening, instead of setting up front lit, I decided to shoot backlit with the trees and Peter as silhouettes.

Sequence images of surfing are tough, because the waves are always changing – not like skating or snowboarding with static locations. But with Peter and the trees as black shapes it was easier to make this sequence image work. I think the image turned out really well.
