Me (stripes) and buds with a nice catch of Yellowfin Tuna and Dolphin (Mahimahi). Oregon Inlet, North Carolina.
Built to fulfill the requirements for "RRT Extraction unit - Oil" in the ongoing DA4 game.
The requirements called for some type of oil derrick, with a gas plume, a method for transporting the oil, and an oil spill.
The surf around these rocks made a dreamy, almost spooky image. Shot during daylight, but slightly underexposed and the waves made it look foggy & dark. Twenty sec exposure with an ND filter. Minimal post processing.
Captured this morning off the eastern Australian coast. The offshore wind really did make for some fun surfing!
Taken the day before my previous posting - the late afternoon sun lighting up a breaker on Trial Harbour's fast, northern reef right hander.
Swell off the Southern Ocean was westerly at around 4-1/2 ft and decreasing. Wind was a hard NNE, ~35kts increasing to 45-60kts NNW overnight and backing to WNW 25kts by morning.
Trial Harbour is the home of the gale.

Nice to give the tip shop SMC Tak a run. I gave away my old 135mm preset Tak when I picked up the fungus riddled (then CLA'd) SMC with slightly better coatings for $15 :-)
Late November. 37 degrees Fahrenheit. An 18 mph northwest wind, blowing across the beach and out over the surf, spewed spray off the tops of the breaking waves. I saw this out the car window from a quarter mile away. What choice did I have, really? The waves demanded that I come down and photograph them.
The natural resource of wind is now being extensively farmed in the North Sea. This farm is 15 miles off the Dutch Coast near Vlisingen. One of many farms making navigation a little more challenging.
Each turbine has a life span of 20 years. It will take 13 years to pay for itself providing 7 years of free energy. My question is....who for ? I am guaranteeing that this is another example of the rich getting richer and the rest of us still have to pay for free energy.
A view across the river Alde at Orford, with Orford Ness in the far distance.
Tech info: single exposure at -1EV with boost to shadow detail and to blacks and contrast. Minor crop and fix to the horizon
When I visit other people's streams, I like to leave encouraging comments or respectful critique. I never leave images, logos or text based decorations in my comments. I'd really appreciate it if you could do the same for me. Thank you!
