Pismo Beach Surfers by Wayne Angeloty

October 2026 - Pismo Beach Surfers

About the Image(s)

Shot this from the Pismo Beach pier on Central Coast of Calif. Watched several surfers and their routes around the pier. I was most intrigued when they were framed by a wall of water and the spray patterns and textures of the blue- green water. After, I got the shot I wanted, I didn't realize there was a surfer (I think they were sitting on a board obscured by the ocean spray. I left it in after Snapseed editing. I liked the optical illusion of this cloudy figure that appeared to be hovering above the wave and silhouetted in the mid ground.

The layer of water framing the main surfer worked out nicely. I think the second surfer on the board adds a little to the image interest. Not sure you could have done much with the main surfer, wearing a very dark outfit. The rest of the exposure looks good and the increasing the shadow slider might not do much.   Posted: 10/09/2026 23:46:31
