This months best of on MSW features one of my photo’s:

My favourite image of the bunch is number 20, by Mattias “McSnow” Hammer of Gabriel Medina boosting a massive alley oop in Hawaii, the light’s great and the unusual portrait orientation really helps show off the manoeuvre, check out his Flickr account for some really good, other-worldly infra red surf shots (and if that interests you check out this post from a while back for more infra red surf photo’s)

I thought I’d bring you the next couple of shots in the sequence here, there’s a couple of shots before this one too, see the Instagram video below for the full effect.

I really like the last one of these three, the spray bouncing up in front of clear blue sky especially, but the wave had put me in the shade so you don’t get the interesting lens flare that’s in the first two, the second one would have been my favourite if the lip hadn’t been so close to the top of the frame, so I settled on the first one as the best of the bunch for upload to MSW.

And here’s a link to the video of the sequence from Instagram Google+ (I edited it for Instagram then couldn’t get it to upload properly, so I will replace this with a hi res version when I get the chance) one second in real life stretched into 6 seconds, the audio is from the video which the GoPro on top of the housing shot of the wave (or possibly a similar wave in the same session, I just grabbed it for the shutter sound).
