$This image was taken about three years ago, when I first started shooting surf photos. Before there were 50 people shooting lineup photos from the beach. It was a picture perfect day, as you can tell. Sunny, eight inches of snow, glassy offshore winds, and good swell. Photo: <a href=\"http://www.ryanmackphotography.com/\">Ryan Mack</a>$

$This is just a real moody small day with a storm moving east off the coast set for a cool look in the sky. Photo: <a href=\"http://www.ryanmackphotography.com/\">Ryan Mack</a>$

$Fire in the sky. One of my first swims with my housing. I got lucky to get this set right before the sun peeked out from behind the houses. Photo: <a href=\"http://www.ryanmackphotography.com/\">Ryan Mack</a>$

$Classic spring day if you\'re lucky in New Jersey. This does not happen every spring. seeing these drainers run down the beach is pretty rare, but this day was pretty fun. Sunny skies, warm water, and green freight trains coming down the beach. Photo: <a href=\"http://www.ryanmackphotography.com/\">Ryan Mack</a>$

$This day was another epic one for the books. Seven-nine feet, hollow as hell, and breaking perfectly on the sandbar. Most were too steep and hollow to get into. As you can see here, this thing is pretty much over-vert. I stalled in the lip to get this angle, then realizing I was going to get sucked over with the lip, I braced for impact.

Editor’s Note: #My 5 Lineups is a new series highlighting 5 of a featured photographer’s favorite lineup shots. The second in the series is Ryan Mack.

I’ve been shooting photographs for a few years now. The winter months in New Jersey are fun, but very cold, with blizzards that dump four feet of snow and whip up four feet of swell.
