Splash

This was about as close as I was game to get to the crashing waves on the end of the rock shelf.

    I did crop about 1.5m off the bottom of this shot though ;-) Still, it was close enough given the variability of the waves.

    Fantastic shot, love that bit of greenery.

    Slippery stuff that greenery ;-)

    an interesting looking beach, I much prefer a beach like this to one thats just never ending sand. Grey skies- I didnt think you got them !!
  • David de Groot said:
    Yeah I like rocky beaches. Sandy beaches have there place too (mostly for finding shells), but the rocks are where it's at. As for the skies, this was in Sydney ;-)

    And yourself for that matter!
    But salt water and cameras don't mix well.

    It's part of a series of four shots of this wave. I should do something with them...
    Thanks :) I'm kicking myself about leaving the 70-200 in the bag in the car during this session, as there were some good opportunities for tighter shots (without getting wet). Oh well, next time.

    Great shot. I would like to see what you do with a series.
  • David de Groot said:
    Thanks :)
  • -Gadabout- said:
    Looking forward to seeing the entire series :)

    I should have kept my big mouth shut, now I can see I'll have to do something with the series...
