The Cape Kawanda Rock Monster
rears it's ugly head and almost takes another life!

Rick Lundh was photographing nearby, the monster almost got him, but aside from a few scratches and massive psychological damage, he's fine.

You made me chuckle, Mark. That was a good way to start off my week. That old beast has taken its fair share of unsuspecting photogs over the years. Thank god you two were on your toes! :biggrin:

Physically fine with just a few scratches is good enough for a photographer. Mentally, who cares. :) Photography is fun, i like your 'view'. I was around this area last year and there were so many (three day weekend) people and cars i just kept going.

Ya should have put Rick in those giant jaws. :rolleyes: I believe this is the first ocean shot that I've seen from you.

Erik, I know, later on I was thinking of a whole spoof we could have done.

And now... where's your processed version? This one looks pretty bland...unless you were going for snapshot here :razz:

...massive psychological damage..


Even more? :wink:

While I like where it's headed, it does need processing and the right side doesn't add much.

Oh yeah, it's just a snap, it's not my style at all and I didn't work it anymore than this. I only took to because of the rock monster thing.

Mark,
Your not to going to print and frame this, your first ocean shot? Imagine.... Mark Hudon's first ocean shot. The possibilities are endless. :wink:
