Crashing

Gallery: LandscapePosted July 2, 2013313 views11 comments

I apologize for my long absence. We travel a lot, and we have just returned from a month overseas. Still, I enjoying seeing the work of others here when I get a chance, but alas, I don't have time to comment while we are away.

After a typical coastal storm, this wave was heading for shore as it crashed. I was struck with the power and texture of this particular wave as the sun was disappearing.

A different perspective of a crashing wave. The lighting and texture are great. Well done.

Thank you Jeff and Allen. One can observe and anticipate, but with this kind of shot, there is always an element of luck. I waited, I anticipated, but I was also lucky that this particular wave came along. Thank heavens for years of sailing that allowed me to at least target certain potential waves breaking.

Where? I especially like the shape of the wave in the foreground.

Interesting that people seem to like the diagonal lines. I purposely did that and chased the wave along the pier to maintain my position. The fishermen there, I am sure, thought I was nuts!
