Rare Sport, a photo from Santa Catarina, South

Photographer's Note

Hello TE members.
I'm back after a year since my last post and this time with a new upgrade to my old Canon A80... The Nikon D40 SLR.

The photo was shot in the dunes of praia do Arroio by the "Morro dos Conventos".
This photo might not be adequate to the TE but I decided to post it because it represents a place in the world that is quite dificult for most of the people to see... Dunes were you can do sandboarding.

This photo was shot using the camera sports mode.
Here are the camera settings:

Hi David,

I like it, great sports foto of an unusual sport. I like the way the sand "trails" behind the surfer. Great photo quality. TFS

Hi David,
very original subject!
Good focus and sharpness, nice composition, but I I would have preferred a wider framing.

hello David,
excellent action shot. I like the diagonal line created by the surfer's borad and the way the position of his body makes a well balanced composition. Nce and sharp too.

Hi David.

Good capture here. I think you have a good composition here as well. I think this is a great picture for TrekEarth! Well done!

excelente trabalho, David, podia tranquilamente ilustrar uma matйria sobre o lugar ou sobre o esporte. O detalhe do pй e mгo direitos, passando pela areia, й hipnуtico.
Parabйns.

Olб David,
Fantбstica captura, pela grande exposiзгo e nitidez perfeita.
Bem composta, reflete um bom momente da capacidade de esforзo e superaзгo desse "bicho da terra tгo pequeno".
parabйns
