Waves

This is a tough one. It´s not sharp, in fact, it´s not sharp at all due to camera shacking, the wind was so strong that i almost flew away, jeje. The clouds looks good, but the main peak is blured looking it at 100%, i can´t get a decent print out of this.
So, this one is just to document that moment and i wanted to share it here in NPN.

Taken from the Lanin Volcano
1ds / 70-200 @200mm / Singh-Ray polarizer.

Thanks in advance !

Wow! Maybe you can't print it big but it still has a lot of impact for me. Very deep and dramatic capture. Aerial photography is certainly not easy at all.

Beautiful moment you had and your capture looks great, Ricardo. I like it very much. These clouds look amazing here and the peak as well. Love it in B&W. Cheers!

I really like the peaks protruding from the powerful clouds... very dramatic shot, Ricardo!

Thanks a lot for the inputs guys !

Marc: It´s not aerial, i was there on my knees at the edge of a cliff with my tripod. The strong winds and the fact that i didn´t use a cable release, i supose, is why the image came out a little blured. Thanks man.

It was windy and it was beautiful, sharp or not, it's a wonderful capture!

Very graphic composition. The light on the clouds is really cool. Great job on the web version even if not printable.

Too bad about the high winds, however the composition and tonality still make this a really good B&W in my opinion, well done.

Tough luck on the image Ricardo. Sure looks like a wonderful moment for you. Great conditions and the exposure looks perfect.
