Photographer RONALD HONS

Getting out this past month proved to be challenging. With my family trading colds back and forth, I only got to go out a few times. I kept to my local spot (Windansea Beach in La Jolla) to get in the water. With Daylight savings coming in early Dec, I chose to shoot in the mornings. I love the lighting and coloring that the sunrise offers. The wave shots are a perfect example of that. My favorite shot of the month had to be the image named frosty curl. This wave is closest that I have seen a La Jolla wave looking like a North Shore wave. Not to mention it was close to the size of a North Shore wave to boot. Shot settings, 1/1600, f/11, and iso640
The next shot I really liked because of how I was able to catch the wave and the sun right before the curtain covered it up…
Settings 1/1250 sec, f/9 and iso640
The last wave shot was actually the very last click on a 3 hour session. It was also one of the few keepers i had from that session.
Settings 1/2000, f/13, and iso640
On clear days I have been trying desperately to get a good clear shot from the back of the wave. This was my best attempt at this from the month of Feb.
Settings 1/800, f/9 and iso640
All water shots were shot with a Canon 7D, Canon 8-15 f/4 L Fisheye in a SPL water housing.

My last two shots were taken on the same day after getting out of the water. It was high tide and the Windansea Shack was under attack. While walking to the shack to get the previous shot, I was about to be dive bombed by this local.

Photographer DOUG WALKER

I awoke this morning with the first thing in mind was to get a surf in. After that it was a cup of coffee. As I was sitting there the sky was amazing as created that beautiful winter almost spring lighting. I grabbed my camera and leica lens and rode my bicycle thru towns capturing these images of life, culture & lifestyle.

This is California.

Photographer MATHEW DEVITO

Mathew contacted me asking if he could send stuff in and of course I was accepting. Mathew is part of the new breed of young photographers as opportunities have opened the door for artsts to express themselves thanks to the cost saving equipment like GoPro. At 14 years young he seizes the opportunity.

Here are some photos. You can pick out your favorites. As for a story the one above is pretty much my overall story. I saved up my money for a year to buy a GoPro so that I could take pictures like all the people who inspired me. Now I am trying to fulfil my dream of being the next Clark Little.

PHOTOGRAPHER BRENDAN FALLON

My name is Brendan Fallon, and I am 20 years old from Toms River NJ. I have been shooting since June 2012. Every time I go out to shoot i have one goal in mind. For my photos to stand out, and paint a picture for everyone. Wether I’m shooting my friends surfing, skating or even landscapes I try to grasp the image how I see it. I want the viewer to look at the photo and be able to picture themselves there at that very moment the picture was captured.

My setup

Canon T3 ( Tokina 10-17 - Canon 70-200 F4L - Canon 18-55 )

Photo #1 Bay Head NJ on a breezy summer evening.

Photo #2 Jet Star roller coaster lies at rest in the Atlantic Ocean after Hurricane Sandy.

Photo #3 Buddy of mine taking a break after surfing some icy cold jersey tubes.

Photo #4 A-frame with a rainbow in Northern NJ.

Photo #5 Myself standing in my street the day of Hurricane Sandy.

Photographer: Filippo Maffei

Nationality: Italian

Photography helps me understand what I see through the lens.
My motivation is simple: immortalize something worth remembering.

In summer 2012 I undertook a photographic project with some friends documenting life around surfing in our hometown.
Sharing golden moments of instantaneous joy, capturing fragments of our daily trips along that coastline we call “home” was the aim of the project.
We started to document every swell, from southern Tuscany to northern Liguria and we shot in every condition, from perfect glassy waves to windy close outs, sunny or rainy.
Devotion is driving us through this project, bringing me and my friends together to share this unique experience of the beauties within our region.
The following shots are a small selection from a collection that is a work in progress.

Photo #1
Beach break in Viareggio, Tuscany, right in front of my house. I shot this with a Nikonos V and Velvia 100 color slides film.

Photo #2
Ale Ponzanelli waiting for the set to come on a rainy day.

Photo #3
Ale Ponzanelli gliding down the line. Cold winter days are often the best time to be out.

Photo #4

PHOTOGRAPHER RICKY LESSER

This was a little trip we did with the fox team and some other some other friends down to mainland. the place is insane when it comes to pointbreaks. if you don’t like one head around the corner to the next one and so on and so fourth. Its relatively tide dependent and it just so happened that we planned our trip quite well with the tides. We had about 10 days of painfully long rights with some substantial swell. by day 5 the boys were very particular to when they would surf because it got so damn hot. and mid day mexican sun is no good for shooting, so all the video and still guys got to play in the water from about 11-2 everyday while the “talent” rested, ate and tried to stay out of the sun. that time came to be called the “camera-mens cup”- all the shooters would have heats and try to out surf/bodysurf they others- winners would get beers losers would get more more beers.

If I was regular I would have a house there. Every type of wave you can think of, barrels for days breaking on sand, the water is like silk and its only a few hours from home.

Go if you ever have the chance.

Photographer Baptiste Levrier

Here is a sample of my surf photos I’ve been working on the last few years all over the world.
A few words about them: I use a digital camera with an analog-broken 110 mm lens that can’t focus anymore. This is why my photos are blurry. I’m a bit bored by all that ‘‘porn surf photography’’ featuring close-up actions and fake lifestyle shots. I’m more inspired by painting currents, such as impressionism and abstract expressionism.
I’m trying to focus on our environnement and the visions that make us love surfing, not only for the ride but also for what’s around us. We sometimes forget our surroundings, those insignifiant details we pass by. I think they’re a big part of surfing, more than a 10 feet barrel or a any air that most of us won’t ever pull.
