This image is bursting with color and texture. Taken during the orange light of a rising sun, the background is contrasted by the water particles being pitched out from the lip of a breaking wave.
In order to capture this image I allowed the the breaking part of the wave to nearly hit the end of my camera lens as I snapped this shot. Thankfully the camera is enclosed within a water housing, which is the main piece of specialized equipment that allows me to capture images while swimming in the ocean.
I find so much joy in the process of photographing waves while swimming amongst them. This immersive experience keeps my drive for exploring my passion and developing my technique at a high level. I think this enjoyment is crucial to excelling in whatever endeavor one undertakes.
