2.78 - "Solid" 

analog meets digital - surf

this is a shot from a personal project
i put some thoughts in visualising the theme "contrast" combined with sports
it resulted in a series of digital shots taken through an analog mamiya viewfinder

to make things clear this is not a montage with some fishy photoshop work involved, it's a real single shot and everything was done in-camera (despite some adjustments in color and contrast)

in this shot i placed my tripod mounted dslr on a light plastic table dressed with some beach utilities i found on that place in western france
the camera is facing down to the analog live-view through the mirrored image of the mamiya facing to the front
i literally carried the setup with me into the shallow waters and waited for the surfer to come close enough to frame and fired the dslr remotely
this was definitely the most challenging shot of the series and took me quite some patience

This to me, is excellent from concept to execution. It feels like a magazine or book cover.
How many photos are in the series? Are they all surf?

appreciate jennifer!
it's a series of 4 shots
you can see the others on my portfolio:)

Nailed this. Great concept!

thanks daniel!

Really enjoy this series. Sick work. :)
