Mark Johnson regularly paddles out into the swell to capture some of San Diego’s most breathtaking sights. “Something about shooting while totally immersed in wilderness, and the way that sunlight plays through flexing prisms of water—it’s just magic,” says the San Diego-born photographer. On this day, Hurricane Marie had left a thin layer of clouds in the sky and Johnson took note of the possibility to shoot. “High thin clouds like that always get me thinking about how fabulous the sunset is going to be with the light bouncing off the clouds.”
