Waves crashing over a concrete pier by the Oslo fjord.
Photo taken at Ringshaug, outside Tønsberg, Norway, on 26 December 2011.
I had to drive out to my daughter's college in Kenosha. Despite being in one of my worst flareups, I had to stop at the shore to do a short, 8 second, text-able video for the Disabled Guy (he didn't believe me that Lake Michigan has waves like the ocean).
And while I was there, I took a bunch of photos of a few seagulls.
The waves crash on to the beach at Couminole on Slea Head, Co. Kerry.
Standing where I was when I took this image was scary. Huge waves lifting up water to head height before crashing down mere feet in front of me.
Is that Skellig Michael in the background?
The surf was pretty rough yesterday. No-one was surfing or swimming at Lighthouse Beach in Ballina. They looked pretty spectacular from the wall but their true nature and beauty was hard to capture. The water colour was wonderful!
Anyone out there taken a series of shots only to find they had their camera on the wrong setting?
Prior to taking this shot I had been trying to take shots at a wedding in low light, so I cranked up the ISO. Now, every (well, almost every) time I finish a subject I reset everything so I know that should I need the camera quickly I have it all ready to go. But after a few pints at a wedding, things begin to slip!
Thinking all was hunky-dory I started to flick away on a walk on New Zealand’s North Island. It wasn’t till a little later that I found I had the ISO at 800-school boy error. However it did let me shoot faster which meant I could freeze the water as it hit the rocks, lucky break!
For this photo I positioned myself, put the camera on rapid fire and waited for a big wave. I got three shots off (this being the best of them, obviously!) before I had to do the protective spin-hunch-embrace maneuver (you know the one) before the camera got wet.
These things look like a whole lot of fun, but when you're in your 50's with a bad back, they might not be the best medicine! I felt like saying "ouch!" every time this wave runner slammed into the waves!
