Rise of the Surfers Photo Gallery by James Giovanni Pan at pbase.com

Rise of the Surfers

Inspired by a colorful poster inside a surfing store and the many awesome surfing photos by fellow Pbasers, these images are dedicated to all the free-spirited, freedom-loving surfers. Each move you make is like a brush stroke of poetry in motion. Every action provokes a reaction.

So thank you for dancing and painting in the water.

Arjayphotography		11-Dec-2007 09:14
Hi James, I must be honest, at first the aggressive sharpening and curve put me off these images, but once I settled in for the ride and looked over each one, they grew and grew and grew on me. Technically, they are really top notch surf action shots and by themselves worthy of any print report, but the fact that you've purposefully elevated and accentuated the vibrancy of the scene, puts this and you in a different league my friend. Echo every comment so richly deserved! ~GMV~

Steve Morris		07-Dec-2007 22:53

Stunning visuals! Each image rightfully commands and deserves attention. Your processing skill is top-notch, the style you bring to every image is one-of-a-kind. Your truly a unique type of photographer. Only a few like you come to Earth once in a while. Can't wait to learn more from you. Thanks for setting me up with the lenses! I'm honored to have a "James Pan" original!

James as a Love of the ocean and more of surfing this is an exceptional gallery full of life and inspiration. Your images are breathtaking ... It was such a pleasure to know I actually was in your presence for a few hours. You yourself and your lovely wife are such a beautiful couple so full of life. I enjoy ALL your images and will return on a regular basis just to sit in awe Here is a link where I display my mediocre images http://www.myspace.com/topangaflix The Girl with the Nikon at Descanso.... :)

OMG!! I knew I was standing next to a master! These are incredible James. I cannot imagine how you did this from simply standing on the beach. I showed the photos to my colleagues and they are blown away!! I always felt you are a special & gifted young man. Inspiring to say the least.

Herve Blandin		19-Nov-2007 17:13
Thanks for your kind words and thoughts, James. I think this is the case where creative editing brings out the subject beyond mere recording and capture skills. Only missing is some surfin' music... WIPE OUT!

Woooowwww!!! This gallery is fantastic! How did you do this? Each and every one of the surfers looks even more formidable than the Silver Surfer of the Fantastic Four fame. Maybe you should also just include him in this gallery so that he doesn't feel left out. Cheers.

James, thanks for sharing these amazing shots. Not only have you used your great processing style, you have captured some fantastic surfer moments. A few of the shots may be slightly overdone for my taste, but you do this processing so well and you shoot some fantastic freeze-the-action shots here. I really like this gallery, a vote from me!
