Montezuma Coast

Haven't been too active lately, I apologize, very busy getting the semester going with the 3 digital photo classes I teach for VT State Colleges. I've also been busy getting the chaos that was my digital archive re-organized and transferred over to larger capacity drives. What a chore. The positive side of all this work (aside from peace of mind) is that I've been rediscovering images and/or finding stuff that was over looked.

Here's one from a trip to Costa Rica I took with my wife last Spring, not a photo trip but I did manage to capture a few frames. Clearing t-storms right as the last rays of light bathed the beach right outside our little bungalow necessitated a mad dash with cerveza in hand to get a comp.

The action of the water around the rocks and the dramatic sky makes this a very good seascape, Kurt. Beautiful work.

Lovely sky ! Loved the waves circling the rocks - just the apt shutter speed.

I hear ya Kurt on the busy times. I too need to go through and organize/filter some shots.
A nice find you have here and the subdued light work well within this scene. The timing of the wave is perfect here and I almost wouldn't mind a little more sharpness on the water itself. Not sure?
Anyway thanks for sharing
Great job

Wonderfully dramatic, Kurt. Sky looks different, but it works well with the surf and rocks.
