nikonas test roll part three- a search for tonality and contrast






Here are a few more shots from my first roll with the nikonos v. I am still trying to figure out best to frame my water shots and how to present the shots with regards to tonality and contrast. Trying to find the magical combo. I am definitely inspired by early surf photography ala Tom Blake, Doc Ball and Don James, as well as the early pictorial masters (e.i. Strand, Steiglitz, White etc.). I am not interested in creating any more "surf porn" or high action sports style surf photography as I just don't see the world that way. I need to pick up a pair of flippers-any recommendation would be appreciated!!
