Pacific Triangle

Gallery: LandscapePosted December 13, 2010368 views23 comments

Well, I have been pondering as to what image I should post on NPN, since it is my first post here! I was checking out the photo Marc Adamus posted here a few days ago of his B&W "Oregon Sea Tunnel - The Inside Out" As usual I was really impressed with it. I happened to be there with Marc a year ago when he captured that awesome piece of art; Light From Within

During that photo session in the fall 2009, I decided to switch gears and try a different "long Lens" perspective of the same sea tunnel. How we came out of that photo session with dry gear is beyond me!

Welcome to NPN, James! Wow, what a cool shot! I love the shape of the triangle, and how you managed to catch some sweet wave action right in the center. Excellent colors too. Overall a truly fantastic introductory post -- hope there's more like it coming!

Welcome aboard! This has such a nice dynamice look to it. The shape of the triangle, the color against the silhouett, and of course the wave action. A very nice shot!

Hey James - cool shot! The wave is a great complement to the triangular shape of the sea tunnel. It is nice to see how this turned out.

Welcome to NPN and ESS James. I really like this image. The triangular shaped opening in the rock and the wave work very well together. Great first post. I can't wait to see more of your work.

Great first post James. The timing was perfect on capturing that wave and have it's shape echoed in the cave. I like the strong blacks too. Cheers

Thank you again for all the positive feedback

I had intended to capture a wave cresting in the center of the triangular frame. As you can see from this image, the seas were ruff out there! I had to dodge huge waves that were coming down the the sea tunnel and crashing into a series of huge boulders we were standing on!! I have many frames of waves crashing in front of the sea tunnel, but the timing on this capture was just right!

Rich, I was using a 70-200mm f2.8 lens and this image was taken at 1/500sec at f4.5 with ISO400

Beautiful shot James. I just photographed here myself a last week, that's a dangerous place to photograph. I really like your take here.

James, I saw this on your LCD that day, but it didn't do justice to this dynamic image - it would have been easy to spend your time capturing a similar image to Marc's, but you broke out and found a completely different take on this amazing location. Congratulations. How's business in Whistler?

Welcome, James. What a fantastic first image. Not only is there great color through the arch, but there is also peaking wave action perfectly centered. Nicely done all around.
