Freezing the surfing action at San Juan beach

After the previous post of images taken with super slow shutter speeds, we're now back to regular programming.... er... surfing action frozen with traditionally fast shutter speeds.

Slow shutter surfing shots

Sundown this March 16, 2013, didn't necessarily mean I had to pack my camera gear and leave San Juan beach.

I decided to linger on for some more minutes to enjoy the cool breeze and after-sunset scenery.

More importantly, the low light allowed me to experiment with super slow shutter speeds at surfers, yielding some interesting images.

My first surfing shots for 2013

The swells at San Juan beach are much bigger this January 5th of the New Year than the usual garden variety wavelets in my past few visits. Although the setting sun was covered by thin clouds from time to time, more explosive surfing action made shooting a lot more exciting.

Girls just wanna have (surfin') fun

Even when the waves are small, and the pros aren't riding; as long as light is sweet, and gals are having fun, surf-shooting is pretty cool.

Fishing towards the setting sun

A lone fisherman tries his luck near the seashore at San Juan, La Union, as the sun sets in the western horizon. This spectacle is a welcome treat after a good day of shooting waveriders.
