Without a darkroom it really sucked! Practically no control over the developing at what they looked like at all.
I do use a telephoto but i'm not very into super tight close ups of surfers. Usually i like to show the entire wave and people on the beach in there too. I like to shoot at an angle to the beach so you can see into the wave so it's pretty long distance. It's a bit of a trade off - super tight? or show the wave more?
Yeah I understand what you mean. Makes the images more interesting the way you do it. But sure, playing around with different angles and what so ever is always good. But I'm quite sure you stood on every m2 on this beach already :D
This season i didn't get many tight close ups. I'm going to try and remember to get some next time if we get some waves.
And yes i have been on every grain of sand here. I'm feeling almost done with it sometimes. I'm really in need of someplace new
