This is "Garut" Widiarta on a recent shoot here in Bali. An unusual problem occurred during this particular afternoon: I was too close.
I was shooting with my 300mm 2.8 from the beach which usually allows me to show a bit of the wave and the surfer on it. In fact, I sometimes wish I had a 400mm or a 500mm on. The waves on this day were quite good and allowed some pretty long rides right in to the beach. Garut was finishing this wave with a nice aerial but he was unusually close in to me. I think the shot still works with the trail of water and the amazingly colorful light but I would have preferred to show the wave and perhaps more of the story. Either way, Garut rips.
