A surfer in a dark wetsuit with a white surfboard under his arm walking over a rocky shore, seen through a gap between two dark boulders, a strip of low sun lighting him against a shadowed, bush-covered headland and a wave breaking white behind.

Between the Rocks

May 2020

1D X Mark II, 100 millimetres, f 5.6, 1/1000 of a second, ISO 200

Lit for about a metre either side of him.

A gap between two rocks, a strip of low sun coming through it, and a surfer walking into exactly that strip with the board under his arm. Everything else is in shadow on purpose: the boulders, the foreground, most of the headland. The wave breaking behind him is the only other thing the light found. He was not posing. He was walking back over the rocks.
