North Shore Waves 2

Love the wave action. Lots of drama and energy, beautifully captured. I'm really enjoying this one.

Great action shot. This image really conveys a sense of force, and the power of the water. Well done!!

This is great Nick. The sense of wild nature conveyed by the rough waters is compelling. What I like most about this, is the interesting texture in the whites of the crashing waves. It is slightly soft, probably due to a very specific choice of shutter speed. Really nice work here!

Another very fine, "nature is angry" image. So many elements to like in this. Excellent work!

Amazing scene of power Nick, love the way you caught the waves pounding the rocky shore line, also perfect exposure on the white capes, beautiful scene.

Ditto on the angry "sea" notion Nick.

What's not to like about this! Most impressive on first sight are those magnificent waves. But the shoreline has its own individual beauty if one looks. There's a nice warmth to it. And the sky is quite fitting. As usual, superb crafting of your image.

Nick,

Fantastic capture of the waves and more importantly how the mood, drama and violence of the lake is captured. The swells look big enough to make me wonder how close you were able to get just to capture this - no doubt the long end of your focal length!

No nits or suggestions. This is awesome.

Another nice fierce scene! I maybe like this one even beter thasn the last? Was it raining here? Or just spray from the wind on the water?

Thanks so much for the nice responce and comments. This was a wonderful morning for me! I love Lake Superior and times like this are certainly part of the reason.
Lon, This is at 105mm from my 24-105 on a full frame and I was getting a little wet! At least it wasn't in November when the lake can really get rolling! Thanks to all of you! Nick

Chris, I guess you left your comment while I was responding to the others. Thank You! It wasn't raining at this time but it did later. This was taken just after the sun came up and I was getting a little light from a few breaks in the clouds and there was a lot of water and mist coming from the lake. Thanks much, Nick

I really like the power and drama this portrays Nick. Do you have images of this place in November? Must be amazing to witness. I never think of lakes having waves like this.

Great moody shot. The stormy looking sky and chaotic surf almost make me feel the wind. Brrr. Think I'll go get a cup of coffee.

Excellent image Nick. I prefer this version over your previous post...I like the cooler colors here. You really did a good job capturing the power of the waves.

Thanks so much for your comments and thoughts on this! For me Lake Superior is a special place. I was hoping this image showed some of the mood and power of this lake.
Eva, Yes, I have shot pictures of the lake in November, but not for awhile now. I will have to go back and see if I find one to post. The lake is 350 miles across and 160 miles wide. Waves (especially in November) can reach as high 30ft and maybe more. It could cover all of north and south America with 1 ft of water. The average depth is around 480 ft and max around 1300 ft or a little more. Just a little info on my favorite "Big Lake" ... Nick

Geez--it looks like the Oregon coast with those waves! Nice one, Nick!

Whoa, those are some seriously troubled waters. I can feel the power of the waves as they come crashing in - I really like how you have captured all of the detail in the water. The stormy sky compliments this image quite nicely and adds to the powerful feel of this image.

Great surf!

A great capture for me, Nick, conveying all the power of the rolling waves. I especially appreciate the natural colors as well as your choice of shutter speed, showing both motion and details in the waves.

Nick, I love the stop action of this image showing off the dramatic power and energy in the wave action here. I could easily see an artist wanting to use this one for a seascape painting. Very nice indeed.

Thanks much guys! Paul, I guess it does look like a scene an artist would like to paint... Nick

Wow! Outstanding wave action, Nick. The drama in the crashing waves compliments the drama in the sky perfectly. I love what you have done here.

Ed

This image just screams Great Lakes! I grew up on the shores of Lake Erie and with this image I can hear, feel, and smell it all. Superb image!

Thanks much Ed and Jeff! I always love the times I spend on Lake Superior. Nick

Sweet action and light mix!!!

Thanks much Mark! Nick
