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.


Leon may have it right or it it might be "pseudo-HDR." Photomatix Pro
has a function that allows processing of a single RAW file. I use it
frequently. Under the 'Automate' menu is BATCH SINGLE FILE. After which
you can turn the intensity up or down to get the look you like.
