Nusa Dua beach, Bali, Indonesia. You can see people standing on the edge on the cliff which gives a measure of the height of the splash this wave created
The tide comes in at Murvagh Beach (the Backstrands). Near Donegal Town, Ireland, on a lovely warm later summer's afternoon.
Had to trick him into waving. Held the camera up then waved at him. Too bad he couldn't have just waved.
Lord Howe Island.
Okay, up front, this isn't meant to be sharp! So when I tell you it's taken with a 240mm Schneider and a 2X converter (which is like a 300mm lens on a full frame DSLR), don't be judging the lens by this shot. It's meant to be blurred!
Sad but true. I have spent all this money buying a camera that produces the highest file quality and now I'm destroying it with long shutter speeds and moving subjects.
I'm trying to get in touch with my feminine side. Now I realise this is a broad sweeping statement without any foundation, but women are much better at expressing themselves than men, and men are much better at setting the right shutter speeds and photographing boring brick walls.
So after photographing a few brick walls at the local gym, I found myself on Lord Howe Island down the southern end at what must be the most idyllic place in the world. Little Island is straight out of a fairy tale with a patch of soft green grass to sit on as you watch the waves crash onto the shiny black stones. Towering behind are the sheer cliffs of Mount Lidgbird with a lush front of kentia palms at the base.
What struck my eye were the waves as they changed direction. The high tide allowed the swells to wash over the shallow reef, creating interference patterns. I have dozens of photos taken as the sun was setting. The shutter speed is 1/20 second, but the amount of blur is a combination of shutter speed and the speed of the moving subject.
