Oceans Fury
Just some crazy waves goin down at the coast last weekend! :eek:

I could travel to the coast specifically to watch waves. This is a nice capture of the action.

I think some dude has a rather impressive image that won lots of awards in his collection with the title "Ocean's Fury", but I could be wrong.

Definitely caught the power of the ocean with this one, very cool Rick! Was this the same night you got tossed around by the same power of the ocean? :biggrin:

I think I've accidentally stolen a title from Marc too :wink:

Oh sure. Steal my title, Rick. You too Zack :wink: Must I do everything for you guys :biggrin:

This one's a keeper, Rick. Powerful stuff. Nice processing.

Zack...that's not bad enough...this was taken at the same beach as his shot :rolleyes: . Although...how could one not think of rage and fury when looking at these freakish waves? Of course, this one is not even in the same state as the ballpark that his is in. Just a grouping of "furious" waves :biggrin:

It was the same night indeed. Ya think I would have learned by looking at these babies!

lol...actually yes...it would be nice if you did everything for us...well, maybe just give me some of those high up mountain images I'll never be brave enough to take for myself :biggrin: I'll give you the ip address of my home ftp server so you can upload those tonight :wink:

Powerful and nicely timed

Great capture Rick, I esecially like the immense size shown so vividly against the gull in flight on the RH side.

This looks like a cover shot to me, Rick.

There sure is power and fury in this image. I like how my eye works it's way up to the top right, nice composition.

Great use of SS Rick. This is a very powerful image.

Nice catch, Rick. I think the conversion works well too. :smile:

Could you disclose what shutter speed you used for this one, Rick?
Thanks,
Cezar
