A surfer rides the waves at Garretstown in early January this year. I’m not sure how many were out there but we talked to one wet and cold looking one when he came out of the water and he told us they had been there for a few hours.
The heavens opened and rain fell shortly after. Only the surfers were left out in the open.
Donal has a good post about exposure. Donal, you should read Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera by Bryan Peterson. I’ll lend you my copy if you want. It’s a great read.

Nice one, I’ll take a read off that sometime. Cool shot, it even looks cold!
I’m sure that surfer looks like a type of character in Half Life. It sends shivers down my spine!
