The setting winter sun highlights Pacific ocean sea spray as waves crash the shore at Oswald Beach in northern Oregon.

The sun come out for a moment and the wave caught the light...............
Playing around with filters today for fun and turned this image into a painting. It wasn't coming out the way I saw it until I applied this filter. Sometimes it pays to experiment with what we have as you never know the outcome until you try.

Look up to the stars
In the darkness glowing
And when you're out there soaring high
Without your body flowing
Don't hesitate
You're dreaming after all

A powerful wave scatters a flock of sea gulls resting on the cliffs along California’s central coast.
Sneaker waves are potentially deadly waves that surge higher than expected, overtaking the unaware.

I met this man as soon as I got to Newcastle. His name is Dennis and he helped me enormously giving me ideas of where to shoot within the Newcastle area. He is a much braver photographer than I am and told me that the only damage from getting so close to the water was to his remote - good ol Canon, they build 'em tuff!

A rare mornng with strong gusts of wind at Haulover Inlet, near Miami, where I was able to catch the waves crashing into the jetty and overflowing to the other side. It reminds me of my favorite quote by Marcus Aurelius: Be like the promontory against which the waves continually break, but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.
One of our favourite places to go and watch the fearless surfers tackle the huge pounding surf - simply amazing how they can get up on these waves and do their magic on their boards. They wait out the small waves and go for the biggest - very entertaining.
This photo is off to the side where they do not surf because of the very unforgiving rocks/lava.
There was a high tide warning in Mumbai, coupled with severe rain alert. Consequently, I packed my gear and rushed to the very place we were told not to go. So did thousands of Mumbai residents. End result, the promenade cordoned off by the police and civic authorities. The waves crashed and it was a smashing show !

A powerful storm south of New England battered the coast with strong waves and surf. Bad day to be boating but good day for photos.
Il faro di Camogli emerge dalla tempesta come una sentinella antica: avvolto dall’oro della luce e dal furore del mare, resiste alla mareggiata, custode silenzioso delle rotte e del ritorno a casa.

The Camogli lighthouse rises from the storm like an ancient sentinel: wrapped in golden light and sea fury, it withstands the raging waves, a silent guardian of routes, sailors, and the promise of hom

This is Dadar chowpatty, a small beach in the Dadar locality of Mumbai. A tad bit dirty, extremely rocky and makes for lovely splashes in high tide.

The Pacifica Pier looking a little worn and taking a beating from a massive swell the day of the Mavericks Surf Competition a few miles south in Half Moon Bay.
Rialto Beach is a public beach located on the Pacific Ocean in Washington State. It is adjacent to Mora Campground in the Olympic National Park near the mouth of the Quillayute River, and is composed of an ocean beach and coastal forest. The many miles of seaside topography offer views of sea stacks and rock formations in the Pacific Ocean.

An abstract and dynamic capture of ocean waves in motion, blending deep blues with splashes of white foam. The blurred textures and expressive movement evoke the untamed power of the sea, turning water into a canvas of energy and emotion.
Here's a rarity for me. An (almost) untouched photograph, just a miniscule amount of photoshop to highlight the waves. Sometimes you just have to let nature be the artist.
ps. I got very, very wet, but it was worth it.
Title: Eternal Sentinels: The Fury and Beauty of the Coast
Description: Embark on a visual journey exploring the solitary majesty of lighthouses standing firm against the raw power of nature. This collection captures the diverse moods of the ocean, ranging from the terrifying height of rogue waves and the freezing grip of winter ice storms to the serene golden hour on rugged cliffs and the isolation of tropical outposts. Each frame is a study in atmosphere, lighting, and the eternal battle between the sea and the stone, rendered with cinematic photorealism.

I will forever be humbled by the countless sea stacks that stand the test of time on the Pacific Coast. With a constant crashing, pounding, and the relentless ocean dynamic, they remain standing for centuries upon centuries. I visited these stacks two mornings in a row, and had the location to myself for both shoots. I don't get over to the coast that often, so it was a real treat to be able to spend a couple mornings with these two old friends, the sea stacks at Garrapata State Park.
For this photograph, I chose to shoot a single shot for the waves, rocks and sky, but also shot another image focused on the foreground rocks to get more definition. This is always tricky business, as it also slightly changes the focal length, but I felt that this shot would be a relatively easy blend and it would benefit from having sharper rocks in the foreground... as the take up a good 1/3 of the shot.
The glow from the rising sun was brilliant, and I was able to witness a couple of rainbows behind these rocks as well. The power of the surf at this beach demands respect.
