Checking Out The Surf Photo

Photographer’s Note

The sun sets on Anglet.

This girl just got out of the water and is enjoying the last few minutes of daylight. She was king enough to let me take a few shots. She seemed a little intimidated by the large 17-55 mounted with the hood. I walked around her silently trying not to spoil her alone moment.

A few words about Anglet: Located in the French Basque country (in the South West of France), it is a very popular destination. Although not as well known as Biarritz, I believe it does have more kilometers of beaches. It is actually sandwiched between Bayonne (famous for it's summer "carnival", Les Fetes De Bayonne) and Biarritz.

Hello Simon,

Nice. Very well seen. Intimidated subjects sometimes still make a good photograph from another angle, where they might be more at ease, not looking in that big big lense ;-). Good she was sitting on the board, otherwise it was a bit harder to explain the situation. Nice.

Greetings,
Dennis
