scrawled the following:

I came across these today. Clark Little is a guy who takes his surfboard
and/or fins out into the surf in Hawaii, with a camera. So he gets great
photos from an inside the wave perspective. It is getting a lot of
attention. Truly unique marine photography.

Gorgeous. My faves, in order, were Marlin, Lost (both on the second
page), and Red Dirt (last page).

How does that guy keep a dry LENS?!?

How does he get the series of shots off fast enough to do the HDR's?
There's no way that's natural colour.

While the pics have the saturation of a typical HDR picture I really don't
think that they are HDR. *Way too much movement for that. *Typical photo
enhancement programs will give more color saturation and contrast, I
suspect that is what he used along with taking probably thousands more
that were tossed.
Have you ever watched CSI Miami on TV, their whole show has that HDR look,
color saturation is cranked way up especially during the opening of the
show.

Hie camera shoots 9 frames per second. *He obviously shoots far more photos
than he uses.

At 9 fps it could be HDR. HDR software nowadays can account for some
motion.. but a bezillion waterdrops? Dunno.
Maybe Leon is right, just a load of saturation. They _are_ doing HDR
in video now, ie music vids etc.
I shot some HDR stuff way back...went hard-over backwards to greyscale
again. After watching a PBS special on Karsch, I am going back there
again, although this time digitally. I sold all my darkroom gear long
ago. All I have left is a bundle of 4 x 5 plate/tank holders.
That was some very fine therapy... to go hide in the darkroom for
hours and hours and come out all relaxed.
