Patrick Booth, Older Dog New Tricks (SINGLE SHOT 2021)

This is a contact sheet I made up from an incredible tube sequence I captured of Ben Ross surfing in Iluka NSW in May 2020. The title Older Dog New Tricks refers to Ben and myself in that we are well into our forties and it was one thing for him to make such an incredible wave at his age, but I think equally for me having captured the whole thing. There were 78 shots in total and I then had to narrow it down to 72 to make a nice 8x9 contact sheet. 465mm @ 1/5000 sec f11 Iso 1600. Polariser, monopod, tilt head.
