#Surfer

0 posts0 participants0 posts today
A surfer on the sea in Scheveningen The Hague. The same sea as the surfer from two photos ago, but under completely different circumstances. The weather is lovely now and the sun is setting. But not such high waves as the other surfer had. But it must be very special to paddle across the sea almost all by yourself at that time. #seewednesday #meermittwoch #sea #meer #waves #goldenhour #sunset #beachlife #surfer #surfing #photography #fotografie #denhaag #nederland #northsea #thenetherlands #fediphoto #pixelfed #alttext

Back to topic.
Modelling has changed and improved a lot. Mostly due to more powerful computers allowing more brute force analysis. The math tools really haven't changed that much. Early commercial modelling included programs like #Surfer decades ago and used #Kriging, (#Gaussian peocess regression) of geostatistical data. Most current geospatial modelling uses this technique, often enhanced with #BayesianDataAnalysis (read the book by that name). So now the table is mostly set. 5/

Levi Epenetos surfing the quarter final of WSL Cape Town Pro 2025.

The shot has a lot of contrast and nice texture on the water from being backlit / sidelit by the sun. It was still bright enough to shoot with 1/1000s in order to capture the spray and hectic movements. Surfing is a quick sport. Chose a larger aperture because I wanted detail on the face of the wave and the spray. Auto ISO to keep my time and aperture, Image stabiliser on, AF on servo mode and Zone AF.
