Wait! How Did He DO That?


We all went to Ditch Plains two days in a row, which is where the surfers hang out.  There were wall-to-wall surfboards and surfers in wet suits both days.  I put a long telephoto lens on my camera, and stood on the breakwater, looking for interesting photographs of the scene.  Well, this looks interesting!  How did this child end up appearing to float above the water?  Mysterious, huh?  The man closest to the camera is the child's father, and a moment before this photo was taken, the father was holding the boy by his feet, over his head, and then the dad pushed the boy forward and up in the air where you see him here.  It just happened that two surfers paddling out were passing by in the background.  An amazing coincidence!
