Did your camera get wet (not to mention yourself)? Well, I read you comment above, so I guess you didn’t get soaked. All the more impressive you managed to captured these splendid images. My favourite is definitely the last one, such drama and energy!

Good morning, Otto. Amazing that I didn’t… funny the next morning I was running by, no camera, and a big wave sprayed me– pay back! I love the challenge of finding the shot here. Thanks so much for your appreciation and encouragement.

Well, at least your camera was safe when the wave hit you. 🙂

Hi Inger, Thank you! I’m happy you like the monochrome c0nversion — it’s always tempting to leave it in color with the vibrant red bridge, but I love the way the waves look in black and white. Glad you agree.

Hi Freddie- Are you picturing me in a full rain suit? I was fortunate to estimate the wave break although I have seen many get soaked at this spot! I was using a pretty good telephoto lens which helped keep me dry. Happy you enjoyed these- thanks so much.

Beautifully done and the SS was on point. Riveting droplets crashing all round, and they certainly stand out with the BW composition. Love the quote too. Anything and everything can make a good photograph. It’s a matter of perspective, and there’s post-processing 🙂

SS on point, I meant shutter speed on point, and that was how you got the water droplets so clear. Sorry about that 🙂

Aha! Should have thought of that one– I learned SOOC from WP, too. Thanks! Yes, a fast shutter helped freeze the action. 🙂 Appreciate your kind comments.
