***Truth be told about this image. It's actually several images blended together in Photoshop using the LIGHTEN blend mode. The white of the waves really came through all the images well to produce this stunning final image. Now you know !***
Acadia National Park is a national park located in the U.S. state of Maine. It reserves much of Mount Desert Island, and associated smaller islands, off the Atlantic coast. Initially created as the Sieur de Monts National Monument in 1916, the park was renamed Lafayette National Park in 1919, and was given its current name of Acadia in 1929. It is the oldest American national park east of the Mississippi River. [source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadia_National_Park]
Bar Harbor is a town on Mount Desert Island in Hancock County, Maine, United States. As of the 2010 census, its population is 5,235. Bar Harbor is a popular tourist destination in the Down East region of Maine and home to the College of the Atlantic, Jackson Laboratory, and MDI Biological Laboratory (Salisbury Cove village). Prior to a catastrophic 1947 fire the town was a famous summer colony for the super-affluent elite. Bar Harbor is home to the largest parts of Acadia National Park, including Cadillac Mountain, the highest point within twenty-five miles (40 km) of the coastline of the Eastern United States. The town of Bar Harbor was founded on the northeast shore of Mount Desert Island, which the Wabanaki Indians knew as Pemetic, meaning "range of mountains" or "mountains seen at a distance." The Wabanaki seasonally fished, hunted and gathered berries, clams, and other shellfish in the area. They spoke of Bar Harbor as Man-es-ayd'ik ("clam-gathering place") or Ah-bays'auk ("clambake place"), leaving great piles of shells as evidence of this abundance. In early September 1604, French explorer Samuel de Champlain ran aground on a rock ledge believed to be just off Otter Cliffs, and when he came ashore to repair his boat he met local natives. Champlain named the island Isles des Monts Deserts, meaning "island of barren mountains"—now called Mount Desert Island, the largest in Maine. Mount Desert Island (often abbreviated MDI), in Hancock County, Maine, is the largest island off the coast of Maine. With an area of 108 square miles (280 km2) it is the 6th largest island in the contiguous United States. It is the second-largest island on the Eastern seaboard, behind Long Island and ahead of Martha's Vineyard. According to the 2010 census, the island has a year-round population of 10,615, although it is estimated that two and a half million tourists a year visit Acadia National Park on the island. The island is home to numerous well-known summer colonies such as Northeast Harbor and Bar Harbor.

This is McClures Beach at Point Reyes National Seashore, taken in the evening with a Canon 5D and a 17-40mm lens and a 3-stop hard GND filter across the sky. It felt good to get out again and feel the seabreeze, although it was so windy I could hardly stand up. But it still felt good. I should finally be getting out much more often.

I'm back in Iceland again, and I just love to watch the massive waves crashing on its beaches and cliffs. This is taken at Reynsifjara this morning. The sun briefly made an appearance.
We're starting a new feature on the Sea to Summit Blog called "Behind the Lens" where Jim and I talk about some of our images and what went into making them. We'll talk about the thought process before, during, and after the actual shutter click, everything that went into making the shot work, and maybe some things that could be improved. Sort of a "learn by example" sort of thing. The first post is up and you can check it out here:

As to the title of this shot, it seems to me that the days are simply flying by lately. I wake up, then before I know it it's time to go to bed again. What the heck, where does the time go?
Cheers all,

A large storm front arrived offshore from Acadia National Park recently. This shows one of the very large waves as it crashed against 110 foot (33.5 meter) high Otter Cliff. To get an idea of the size, note the people in the upper right.

A tourist poses for his friend (and me) on the, relentlessly pounded by ocean waves, volcanic rock at Ponta da Ferraria, with spray projected at impressive heights. I later approached Sean and his friend, Nico, and got their details, which I later lost together with my notebook :(
A surfer contemplating some mountainous waves on Lake Michigan. He is actually walking/standing about halfway out on the north pier during an unusually violent November storm. What looks like the shoreline on the upper right is actually another huge wave! If anyone knows who this is, let me know and I'll forward some photos to him.

Reynisfjara, Iceland
Nature’s raw power on full display — crashing waves against the iconic basalt columns, with Reynisdrangar standing tall in the distance. A moment of wild beauty on Iceland’s south coast.

The "Monkey Hut" at Portreath, Cornwall, is a small, iconic structure located at the end of the harbour wall. Originally built as a refuge for harbour pilots, it offered shelter during harsh weather while guiding ships safely into the harbour. Over time, the hut became a symbol of Portreath’s maritime history. In 2012, the hut was severely damaged by storms but was later reconstructed in its original location, preserving its historical and cultural significance. Today, it stands as a picturesque landmark, often admired by visitors and photographers exploring Portreath’s rich industrial heritage​
Vernazza - one of the five scenic hillside villages that make up the Cinque Terre in the Italian Riveria. This is the village that we decided to stay and use as a base during our exploration of the other villages along the Ligurian Sea coast.
The waves routinely crash over the molo (breakwater) and along the coast of the Ligurian Sea. It seemed like the surf was exceptionally high on our last day in Cinque Terre.

I captured this image of Camps Bay and the Twelve Apostles from the rocks at Maiden's Cove... a few minutes before sunset yesterday evening.
Unfortunately the sky was quite hazy and the sun was partially blocked by a very irritating little cloud over the horizon... so the light wasn't as sweet as it could have been. But I really liked this composition with the leading lines in the foreground... and I love how that wave crashed over the rocks at exactly the right moment!
And no... I didn't get wet! :)

This was the first shot I got at the rocks last Saturday. It was pretty dark and hard to focus especially using my manual focusing Tilt/Shift Lens. Thank God for Live View. This is a single image taken with a Singh Ray 3 stop ND Grad filter. Processed in Nik Color Effects Pro and Viveza.
Have a great Labor Day
Tide coming in over the outer rocky ledge with the sun fading for another day.
There's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away.

My favorite spot. Great storm waves crashing upon the rocks. Pacific Coastal views. 3 of us shooting from different vantage points. Each with a unique visual story.
I think the combination of the pink crashing waves and the iceberg look like some kind of long-necked bird. I'm always seeing faces or animals in the waves and icebergs and landscape.
What an afternoon!! It was blowing a gale and the waves were flying over the sea wall ~ I got soaked!!

A rather wild sea running today .............
Our weather continues to be cold, windy and wet ~ today, we woke up to snow, then we had hail showers and then I attempted to walk along the beach and this was as close as I got to the sea!!

Landscape and action photography collided at Diamond Beach on Iceland's southeastern coast as incoming waves pounded the small icebergs packed along the shoreline. I had a blast photographing these explosions, watching waves roll in closer and closer and then hitting the shutter (me not the wave) at the moment of impact. What a rush! I really liked the variety of blue hues in this grouping of bergy bits.
