Taking A Break

This surfer is taking a break and enjoying the day before the wave of expected storms hits Southern California, all week long. El Nino is back and it is going to be a very wet week. So this past Saturday, many folks were at the beach, even though it wasn't all that warm. Plenty of surfers getting in their last sets, before probably a week off from surfing, due to the expected storms.

I thought this was a different type of surf shot. This was taken at La Jolla Shores, with the Scripps Pier in the background. I really liked how he was posed and basically taking in the scenery and just chilling. I thought the surfer coming out of the water added a very nice touch to the photo. The pier is just basically a reference point. If you are familiar with Scripps Pier, then you then understand where this was taken.

I converted this in black-and-white. The clouds were in and out all day long. At this point, it was mostly overcast. The shot was basically void of any color to begin with. So it was a pretty obvious photo to convert to black-and-white.
