Black and White

Sometimes even when the light is far from ideal, as it was here during a recent swell at Saltburn you can still try and get some decent pictures. Every photo from this session I turned black and white in photoshop. The light was grey and flat and far from perfect, but sometimes you have to work with what you have.

Look for strong compositions and try and shoot a little wider for a more 'arty' look to the pictures. Remember that you make the composition, you don't always have to place your subject - the surfer, right in the centre of the frame, the image may be stronger if the surfer forms only a small part of the picture, as he is in line-up photo below.

You can still get the action shots but they have a different feel to them...
