Shots of the week


(click an image for a larger version)
I've had fun this week shooting  some great free surfing with Garut, Mustofa Jeksen (above) and other stars on the (ISC) Indonesian Surf Championship tour. Plenty of swell around in Bali; not huge, but these guys are so talented they can put on a show in just about any conditions.

I'll definitely have more opportunities in the next week or so. Just keeping an eye the swell forecast and my phone on me at all times. Here's a few of this week's keepers.

Rip Curl team rider Made "Garut" Widiarta
 

Billabong team rider Rahtu Suardita


Mickey Sudena


Mustofa Jeksen of Quiksilver

We had a few cloudy days but still got some nice shots in the diffused light. Sometimes you've got to take what you can get. I always prefer to shoot early morning or late afternoon here in Bali. The light is great and the backlit spray and side lighting turns a nice action shot into something sublime
