What does it take to capture an amazing photo?!  Probably, I shoot one thousand pictures before I find one that really makes me go “Woouuaaaaa!”.  In one thousand pictures there will be many good shots, even some great, but the one that, first time I look at it makes my heart skip-a-beat, that one is very hard to come by.  So many different factors come into play, i.e. the complete “trick” is captured, expertise demonstrated by the rider, autofocus accuracy, eye contact, objects in the background, and more.  Lots of pics get tossed because they fail regarding something on that list.  But, a few check all the boxes!  Those pics light me up inside.  And, just as importantly, when I share the finished, processed image, with that rider, to see them lit up inside too, well, that is one of the best moments we can create in life!  Enjoy – here are some of the best, of my best shots, of the best riders in the world!  And, as such, get posted to Instagram: @welovekiteboarding
