Every so often while shooting surfers, things don't go as planned and occasionally I capture amazing "wipeouts". I like to put my camera in what I call "machine gun mode" and rapid fire shots off during a particular portion of the wave. I'm attaching a 5 shot sequence of a guy starting off and everything seems to be in order, only in a very short time, everything goes South quickly. What is happening is the surfer allows the nose of his board to go underwater, this causes the board to submerge and the surfer to wipe out. In surfing terms this is called "pearling". The term was started by surfers years and years ago describing "diving for pearls".
The last shot I threw in because I LOVE the hair and his face on the surfer as he kicks out of the wave. He actually is in total control as he keeps his eye on the board, ready to push the board safely away from him. As you can imagine a flying surfboard can be a dangerous hazard. Those fins are very thin and sharp!

Spectacular as usual. "Machine gun" is very useful at times. Better than the old film days with a motor winder, but they were way better than nothing. Keep up the great work, very enjoyable.

First thought: Wow.
Second thought: Really amazing; great clarity; the series tells a story. Very well done.

I keep looking at the last short. It tells a completely different kind of story when it is viewed on its own or as a part of the series. Quite intriguing; I'm still "processing" that last one.
