5 Surf Photography HACKS in 50 SECONDS, that you'll actually use!

 

Dylan Brayshaw

Published on Jan 3, 2018

These are 5 surf photography hacks I use frequently when I'm shooting in the water.

1.) Candle wax on lens port to shed water droplets
2.) Taking split shots with dome port
3.) Camera settings for sharp photos
4.) Backdoor floaty mouth mount, this allows you to still have the mount to put on surfboard or main camera housing
5.) Water drops on lens. Leave water drops on lens port to give added bokeh dreamy look.

In this high-speed photography tutorial, you will learn how to freeze the motion of water splashes by using external flashes, a fish tank, and an object of your choice.

Meet surf photographer Zak Noyle (Via clubofthewaves)

Watch this great short film about Hawaiian surf photographer Zak Noyle by The Surf Channel. Based on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, Zak spends countless hours in the water, creating dramatic imagery and artful interpretations of the world’s most magnificent ocean environment.

Watch the video below:

A few of Zak’s favourite shots:

I love it when it’s glowing green and the surfer is a silhouette. That’s one of my favourite types to shoot. Nowadays it’s changing, I can put my ISO very high and be shooting almost in the dark. It’s so exciting for technology to progress like that and see what we can do with that.

When I’m out in the water, I try to get as close as possible and get a different angle. You’re watching the surfer coming down the face of the wave, how the wave is breaking, where you are, what the currents doing… There are so many different elements that your calculating and putting together of where you need to be to get that perfect shot. I don’t consciously do it, it’s just after years of doing this it’s all kinda come together for me luckily.

I think okay, the wave is going to close-out, I can still get inside of the barrel, or, this isn’t going to be a good one, so I dive under. Going under the wave, you can get sucked over, or caught inside. I think it’s so much fun to get caught, and be out in the waves. That’s where I want to be. I’d rather be there than on land shooting. It’s right there in the action, it’s non-stop to me, and a great work out.

One of my favourite images is from Tahiti, with a rainbow going from land to barrel. It doesn’t look real, but it was just one of those special afternoons when I was shooting fisheye and I saw this rainbow appear, so I moved back out so I could the whole land and rainbow in one image.

My image of all the trash in Indonesia… There were these waves of trash coming through… It got to a point where it was so overwhelming, there was every kind of trash debris…

Marine litter is a serious issue! Surfers Against Sewage in the UK are doing everything they can to raise awareness and combat this issue. Learn more at: www.sas.org.uk/campaigns/marine-litter/

Shooting the OB Pier… POV style of course! (Via hostevie.com)

I’ve wanted to make this video for a while now.

Last year was the first time I’ve ever shot a pier (if you’re new, “shooting” a pier means you surf under/through it), and it was a big adrenaline rush!

It’s honestly not a very difficult thing to do, but there can be heavy consequences if you mess up. The pilings are made of concrete, which hurts, but the barnacles on the pilings will add to the destruction if you fall.

So Ian and I started the new year right, and headed to the Ocean Beach pier in San Diego. I love competitions, so we decided to see who could shoot the pier the most times.

I might have had an unfair advantage, with my 40 liters of volume on the Couch Potato, and Ian only had his shortboard. Either way, I think I made it through the pier 7 times, and Ian only got 3.

What pier should we shoot next?

• Couldn’t be more proud of a project. I had the pleasure of working with Dillon Perillo and Brendon Gibbens on our short film “The Dill & Beeg Project”. We travelled to more than 6 countries in 10 months and scored some incredible waves. I hope you enjoy this movie as much as i enjoyed filming it.
