I’ve taken few hours of from editing yesterday to play in big swell at the hatchery. The current is now incredibly strong which makes the swell that much bigger. Here are a few photos of the Columbia River from the hatchery with windsurfers having the time of their lives. As a Photographer and windsurfer I’m torn between shooting or windsurfing when the conditions are just right. There is very little window of opportunity to get great windsurfing photos. You have to have good light (early morning or late afternoon), have the best windsurfers out there at that time and have lots of wind and waves. Here is a link to my favorites 100 windsurfing photos from last year. Many of the photos are published in magazines.
