Dawn Days At Froggies by Marc Llewellyn

I spent the first hour this morning trying to capture the finer details, movements and textures of waves.

It was my first attempt with a longer lens - Tamron 70-200, f/2.8 - in the water. All sealed up in my Liquid Eye water-housing. I’m very excited to experiment more with this combo.

Kingscliff Speed Blurs by Marc Llewellyn

I've spent my life surfing.  So naturally I photograph it fairly often - although it's far from my favourite thing to shoot.  On gloomy days, capturing a crisp surf shot is near impossible and the colours are generally flat and uninteresting.  I've really enjoyed opening the shutter, on all surf photography but especially on a gloomy day to give the image some well-needed character, being motion and colour.  This was a tiny, rainy day at Kingscliff between drinking coffees and progressing onto beers with a bunch of buddies.
