Shooting against the sun
As the days get colder, I look back on the best of the summer photos. This was taken with the camera almost at water level and using the pop up flash.
There are two strategies, I have found to work well for photographing wake boarders.
The first is to shoot with the sun and use a high shutter speed (2000/sec or less) and a minimum aperture.
The second is to shoot against the sun and use a flash, this gives great colors, but you will be limited by the power of you flash as to how far off the back of the boat your subject is. In the above photo I am nearly close enough to touch the board. While most cases you will want to dial down the flash power, start at 0EV and dial up power till you get the effect you are looking for.
