The photography of subjects that include movement, as in surf on a beach, requires luck and patience. As Ansel Adams wrote, “In subjects of this type there are many flowing, intertwining lines and surges of white and gray; the photographer must be alert to the combinations confronting him, and must try to anticipate the position of these moving shapes in time.”
