peel promenade in a north westerly gale, the vid was better than the stills, load and play again for full effect
Been down in Cornwall for a few days, just on my way home and got the chance to get a photo up.
Should be a lot more surf photos up soon hopefully.
As suggested, a wave shot. West Bexington in Dorset, UK. This was the day before the downpour hit the South West, with the winds rising....
this one is inspired by my dear friend olja. she posted a wonderful wave shot from sri lanka www.flickr.com/photos/olika/15459298404/in/contacts/. and she has matched it with beautiful music that moves me so. so much that i decided to post one myself, although not as pretty. this one is from miramar beach california. and i think lindsey stirling's master of the tides www.flickr.com/photos/olika/15459298404/in/contacts/ may work here. anyways if you have a wave shot, please post one too. let's see if we can get all the continents. if nothing else, just to show even though we may be from different lands and cultures, we can still be one with each other, just like the oceans. so wave back :)
Another shot of my son on Portreath beach in Cornwall, breaking the waves with his wellington boots in the late evening sunlight. I really like the rim lighting around his body.
Off to help out at the BoA photo group exhibition this morning, so will hopefully catch up with everyone later. I've sold one print so far!!
Shot from within The Wave looking out into the Paria Wilderness. The Wave is a wonderful place within the Paria Wilderness. It is managed by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and is accessible by permit only. Unfortunately, getting that permit is not the easiest thing to do, but luckily we did. The Wave is a pretty recognizable feature--it has even been a desktop background for Apple Macintoshes before.
But this shot, I like, simply because it encapsulates The Wave, yet is a different point of view. It is looking out from The Wave over the Paria Wilderness. The colors and patterns in the rock were deeply attractive to me, and this, then, is the result.
You probably think that this wave is coming from the left, but actually it's moving from right to left, and that's the tail end of it. Although almost vertical, the wind has carried it over the breakwater.
The light was so diffuse that there was very little contrast, but single-raw HDR has brought the detail out a little.
Off the Oregon coast, near Lincoln City. I just thought this one was neat for getting four waves in the same frame. 14FEB09
Leaving Rothesay Bay Isle of Bute ..
RFA Wave Ruler is the Wave-class fast fleet, double-hulled tanker, designed to support the Royal Navy in global operations, which include amphibious warfare and anti-submarine operations. She is tasked with providing fuel, food, fresh water, ammunition and other supplies to RN vessels around the world.
The ship has the capability to supply fuel and other liquid cargo to vessels using replenishment rigs on port and starboard beams and through a Hudson reel-type stern rig. When providing support for amphibious operations, Wave Ruler is also able to deliver fuel to dracones positioned alongside. In addition to fuel, the ship carries ammunition and other stores which can be transferred while underway. She can operate a Merlin HM1 helicopter, or other helicopters of similar size, from a hangar and flight deck at the stern.
She has a standard crew of 80 Royal Fleet Auxiliary personnel with provision for a further 22 Royal Navy personnel to conduct helicopter and weapons systems operations. She carries a full medical team and sick bay and is capable of distributing 2,000 emergency relief packages in times of crisis. Capacity: 16,000 m3 of liquids (of which 3,000 m3 aviation fuel & 380 m3 fresh water); 125 tonnes of lubricating oil; 500 m3 of solids; 150 tonnes of fresh food in eight 20 ft refrigerated container units.
Wave Ruler was built by Kvaerner Govan (after 1999, BAE Systems Marine) and launched in 2001. She was accepted into service in 2003.
On 8 November 2008 the ship was sent to the Cayman Islands to provide humanitarian relief assistance in the wake of Hurricane Paloma. During February 2010, Wave Ruler and the destroyer HMS York were deployed to the Falkland Islands during a period of increased tension between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the former's plans to begin drilling for oil in the seas surrounding the islands. While in the South Atlantic, Wave Ruler took part in the rescue of an I-Kiribati sailor who was taken seriously ill, refuelling an RAF 1564 Search and Rescue Flight Sea King helicopter while in flight. Wave Ruler spent the latter part of 2016 and early 2017 operating in Scottish waters and the English Channel in support of Flag Officer Sea Training (FOST).
