Late Afternoon Session

I love the light of a late afternoon surf session.  It's challenging to shoot in this type of light but when you get it right it just pops.  Even the washed out shots  convey the stoke.  The translucent green waves, the silvery surface, the sun glinting on the water, make for some spectacular situations and images you just can't get with front lit waves.

I took these this afternoon around 4:00 at 15th Street in Del Mar.  A minus tide was about to hit bottom and the swell was maxed out.  Still, there were more than a few people out in the line up trying to snag a corner here and there.  There were some barrels too.  Check it out.
