Paddle Rock

"A surfer waits to catch a wave as they paddle by a jetty at the Ocean City inlet on March 12, 2021 in Ocean City, Maryland."

Last year during the pandemic, I picked up an Aquatech housing and got into shooting images in the ocean. Be it summer or the dead of winter, I found a new passion and love for photography while neck deep in the ocean with a camera.

However, with many different tools at my disposal, it's always a gamble trying to decide whether to get into the water or photograph a scene from the beach.

Back in March, the waves were great, but I had been in earlier in the day and wanted to shoot some surfers with my drone. One of the spots I thought would be interesting was the inlet in Ocean City.

Thankfully, there were a handful of surfers, and as per usual, the drone opened up a new vantage point.

Whether I am in the water, or simply near the sea, there is an itch that needs to be scratched and find myself searching for every availability to get back to the shore.
