Cool angle - where are you shooting from?

Huntington Beach Pier

I agree, I noticed immediately the angle, I havent seen many surf pictures like that (although I havent seen many surf pictures :P). It reminds me of a helicopter angle in skiing? I would say number 3 is my favourite for that reason.

I know you

One problem with shooting from the pier is that it flattens out the wave. Also, it looks like the whites are blown out and you were shooting on a cloudy day. I try to only shoot when the light is good (early mornings and evenings) for best results.

I know that pier, sometimes the view on the beach is better LMAO
Best shot I got off of that pier was a seagull sitting on top of the roof over Ruby's takeout window crapping on people, J/K.
Last time iI was there it was overcast too.

Larrry, yer puppy shots are KillER!.. put a big smile on my face.. yer surfin stuff is hot too ! agree ..the whites are totally blown..too much pp in ps maybe ?..white water always has shades of white/gray in it...no mater the lighting...

one thing the angle does do, that I don't like.... it does not give any emphasis to the size or shape of the wave. I understand that dues to lens restrictions shooting from the beach may not be ideal, but the lower angle I think offers a more....exciting.... perspective

Sometimes the pier has its advantages.
While I agree that most of the time the images look better from the beach.
It is an embarassment to post this but I got the action, missed on camera settings. Should have been a money shot but I blew it.
This one was taken on the North side of the same pier. Couldnt be possible from the beach.
