Photo of the day 03.14.13 by Warren Keelan

886215_618330914850184_398909506_oToday’s featured photo of the day on Water&Light was taken by Warren Keelan in Australia.

Warren shared this, “When the ocean is super clear, it can be the ultimate playground for water photography. Combine this water with blue skies and you can fill a memory card in no time. Upon arrival at my favorite shorebreak I was greeted with dark ominous clouds and small powerless waves, not ideal when your anticipation from the night before was at a high. I ventured out anyway and it wasn’t until the sun broke the horizon and painted the sky did I realize it was worth the early rise. Here’s a shot of the pine trees lining the beach with colored clouds above, shot from the back of wave as it rolled towards the shore.”

Warren’s setup was a Canon 5D MKII, 15mm 2.8 Fisheye, Aquatech housing.

W&L: What motivated you to start traveling to and documenting cold water destinations ?
CB: When travelling to these frozen landscapes a lot of my fascination comes from the mystery and adventure they present. Many of these coastlines have never been seen through the eyes of someone looking for waves. The idea that we may find a place or wave that no one has ever seen or surfed is what really gets me excited to go on these coldwater trips. Similar to a climber summitting a peak that has never been climbed, it is about discovery and the journey to finding something unseen. Coming back with images that no one has seen and of waves that they never thought existed is worth enduring the elements.
