š Los Hervideros, Lanzarote
Wish you were here?... Stood where the person is? (please forgive the long description. It's meant as a diary for me as much as info for you :) )
While on my two-week holiday in Lanzarote, I scheduled an evening visit to Los Hervideros, when the tide was high and the waves were at their biggest.
When I arrived, the large car park was closed for a reason I couldn't quite understand. This meant that the road was chock-a-block with cars & camper vans. I had to take care to compose them out of the frame. A longer focal length helped with this, and it was something I had planned on to give adequate height to the volcanos - particularly the nearest, Volcan Bermeja.
Although not monster waves, I really got a sense of the power of the ocean here - as the surging water roared through the cave network.
Much like my trip to El Golfo (a previous post), the notorious Lanzarote winds proved troublesome. This time, offshore winds drove sea spray back onto my filter and buffeted the camera head-on. So I couldn't shelter it without being in shot myself. Of the 500 exposures I took, this was one of the sharpest combined with an interesting wave form.
Although I hoped for sunset colours, it didn't happen due to low cloud on the horizon... as it hadn't throughout my stay! I began shooting early, which was a good call as the best of the light about a full hour before sunset. While I was set up, the light came and went with the passing clouds, so I picked my moments.
As expected, those pesky tourists were everywhere (wait... I was one too!), so a little tidying was required in post. I left in the one person on the cliffside though, to ad a sense of scale.
