Stormy Seas - The Outer Banks
Just returned from a trip to the Outer Banks in NC.

I had not planned on going but a slot opened up at the last minute in Richard Bernabe's workshop. If you ever have the opportunity to spend some time with Richard it would be time well spent.

Probably be my last photo trip of the year and capped off an awesome year of photography for which I am grateful.

Hey, that's fantastic, Ed! I'd love to shoot or be near an ocean! I like the motion of the water, and the subtle shades of blue and green. You've really captured the sense of the sea here. Very nice!

Looks like you had a great trip, Ed. Nice motion in the water, and some really dramatic clouds. Wonderful pano image!

Ed a great ocean wave action image and a great sky to add to top it off. The white balance and ocean color is just right. The shutter spead choice was right on also. What shutter speed was this? My guess around 1/8th. Is this a single shot cropped down a little and not a stitched image also? The others on your blog are great as well.

WOW ... this has everything! Great diagonals, repeating patterns, curves, dynamic action, and great colors! Add to that the fact that you've captured the essence of the receeding storm and I don't know how this could be better. Fantastic image Ed! :toast: :toast:
