Shooting the pure magic of waves is always an unpredictable challenge. Getting immersed in the ocean brought me closer to Mother Nature's soul. The warm ocean felt amazing - it was like I was the only bloke on the planet. Like a surfer, I was glued to the swell report for two weeks waiting for something to happen - waiting for the perfect wave. Sunrise colors were key to this shot - I wanted that kaleidoscope to reflect through the wave. Finally a swell was predicted. That night I packed up my gear and tried to sleep. This new experience felt like my first shoot - I hardly slept a wink. As the sun rose my expectations were high - I knew the shot was there. After hours of Mother Nature knocking me around in the surf, I shot like a madman wave after wave - it was an addiction. I selected this image from thousands of frames for my gallery wall.
