Wednesday afternoon I visited the area beyond South Pier and found these Wave Riders. They were enjoying Lake Michigan in its rocking mode.
I went for a walk along the esplanade at Cronulla at dusk last Sunday. The tide was very high, the surf was strong and the light was interesting.

I posted a "re-edit" of an earlier Wave shot yesterday, so I thought it only fitting to post a new one as well. As mentioned earlier, a snow storm the week before our arrival obscured about half of the Wave. The snow covered side walls precluded many of the iconic shots that you typically see from the Wave. In addition, even the shots that I did take where I tried for a more "typical" composition presented issues as much of the snow that remained on the ground was trampled and muddy. This was just such a shot that ultimately didn't work as originally planned because I found the ground covered by muddied snow too distracting. I was, however, able to pull out this shot, which is a pretty substantial crop from the original (that probably wouldn't have been possible without the D810's high megapixel count). Had I seen this at the time and taken this in camera, I am sure the file quality would be much better, but I am still pretty happy with how it turned out. I particularly like the contrast between the few small hints of snow and the vibrant reds and yellows in the slick rock.
This is another shot from my recent trip to the southwest with good friends (not to mention great photographers) Kevin Benedict and Sky Matthews. Please check out their sites as well.
