That's all for this week my friend. I'm going to enjoy a girly stroll in the garden and surroundings, so with a happy smile I'm waving goodbye to you for now. All the best to you and no worries; surely we'll see each other again soon.
A fascinating collection of metal public art sculptures along the edge of Salmon Bay. This is actually two separate sculptures, but if you stand juuust so...

Check out this swell at Godrevy in Cornwall. Tricky conditions to capture with the seaspray on the lens but have had some practice this summer. Luckily the timing of the wave didn't obscure the lighthouse. Very exhilarating shoot.
Thanks for looking
So there I was on the beach, caught away in the moment of capturing the ever-changing light. As is too often the case, my battery died. No big deal, really, so I checked my bag for a replacement. To my dismay there was no spare. Yikes. Yes, this even happens to me. Rather than sprinting to the car to find a usable battery, I decided to relax and enjoy the remainder of the fading sun with my wife. We admired the evening for about 15 minutes. As the sun disappeared, we returned to the car and packed my camera gear. Then a hint of color again cast above on the clouds and round two began. I quickly found a spare battery in the car, grabbed my gear, and sprinted down to the shore. There was no time to setup a tripod, so I simply used the tripod as a monopod, set myself up in the waves, and captured this scene. I love it when Mother Nature teases us. She always brings me a smile -- www.chaddutson.com.
Tide was out and I saw a big rock area that I could get to where the waves were crashing in. It started to pick up and when I got hit a little bit by the wave, I decided it was time to head back to shore.

An ominous sky adds drama to the strong surf as the Monterey Bay shores got pounded by the waves. Being there was quite an experience that this photo just can't reveal.
Im amazed with the gigantic waves in a newly found surfing area in Sabang, Cabugao.
Very conducive for board surfing! Whew! Look at the intensity of the waves!
Bodyboarders at Wawamalu beach. The windward shore got some big waves from the passing hurricanes to the north of Oahu in September.
For all my contacts who are up in the middle of my night, here you go. ;-)
A super telephoto image of waves made from the top of Neahkahnie Mountain. I think I had a 250mm Sonnar with a 2x Mutar on my Hasselblad. So 500mm of telephoto goodness. Nothing like climbing a mountain to get a close up look of the ocean.

Wave in the ocean is never still. Whether observing from the beach or a boat, we expect to see waves on the horizon. Waves are created by energy passing through water, causing it to move in a circular motion. However, water does not actually travel in waves. Waves transmit energy, not water, across the ocean and if not obstructed by anything, they have the potential to travel across an entire ocean basin.
Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. These types of waves are found globally across the open ocean and along the coast.
