Taking It All In

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted June 8, 20071,824 views17 comments

This is an image of my wife who I asked to stand out on this rock in the middle of everything - the problem she got stuck out there as I fiddled around forever trying to get it right. There was not going to be a sunset again so I choose to shoot the storm that came in minutes after this was shot. This was just a fun shot to remember the trip by. Please be easy on me !

Nice image. I like the fact that the camera is relatively low and close to the water. That gives the wave motion some real energy.

This is a very effective composition. Almost monochrome, it gets its power from the movement of the water.

I have seen so many people stuck on that rock.....usually they just say screw it and jump in.......it's so funny to watch.....

This is a great photo, and even though its pretty gray, it works well......I love the sweeping motion of the water......I can't wait to get to the beach this weekend!!!

Nice composition, Kevin. I trust that your wife has forgiven for sticking her on that rock while the waters and storm rushed in.

Nice sense of motion. I'm not a fan of ultra smooth water but it does work here.

Nice going,

Carol

This feels so dynamic and alive - that rushing water really does it. A well deserved EP.
