Not macro but absolutely amazing

Post by missgecko »

I just wanted to share this even though it has nothing to do with macro photography. It's a photo of a fellow 'surfing' a huge wave called The Morning Glory. I knew this cloud existed and that people had surfed it, but it's the first time I've seen a photo of it happening.

Wow! Yep, that's impressive. Huge thing, and he's a better (or dumber) man than me to get near a thing that could push him down at about 1500 feet per minute!

I assume the photos were taken from a chopper or fixed wing plane, and not another hang glider!
