A large wave is captured in Oahu, Hawaii. Hawaii-born photographer Clark Little wades into the ocean to capture the beauty of breaking waves, using a camera encased in a waterproof box harnessed to his leg to capture stunning images of the breaking water

A wave as the wind blows offshore, towards the ocean and away from the beach, creating a mist flying off the top of a backlit wave

Shot at midday, this wave sucks up the sand

Not waving but shooting. Little facing a giant wave with his camera in Oahu. The 44-year-old travels to some of the world's most picturesque spots in pursuit of the perfect wave

A surfer's perspective looking out of a crystal clear tube. The light wind conditions make the wave transparent and glassy, showing the sand on the ocean floor

Without any wind to add texture to the water, the ocean looks like glass
