Not quite how I envisioned this, but I'm pretty happy with the result. Turns out creating a perfect wave in a tank, with a curl and a crest, is almost impossible. Maybe if my tanker was longer...
This is one of those efforts that you just do over and over until you have a shape you can live with. Single strobe with a snoot, and my camera set to self-timer with 5 shots. I just started pouring the water in as soon as it started flashing. Empty. Repeat. Yes, it was laborious.
I vacillated between the current crop, and cropping out the tank entirely. But the tank really provided context and containment for the wild water, and found it more interesting.
Ironically enough, the two best takes were the very first one I did and the very last one.
This is the very first shot.
