    Default Kawooshhhhhh....

    ...Oh I just love the sound of the waves that break on the sea wall.... What a fantastic 15 minutes this morning!

    I had to jump twice, but I didnt get a single drop on me or the gear :-)

    Great shots Raven,

    Have you tried the one where the wave rolls right over the top of you giving you the opportunity to photograph the underneath? I have, but I haven't figured out how to stop everything including myself getting wet through, maybe a full wetsuit and an underwater camera housing would work!

    Hm, I probably do not put that one on my "to do list" nirofo. BUT if its like this next time I would be more than happy to take a photo of you sitting close to the wall and taking a photo of the wave from underneath

    Hi LIZZ

    Actually happened to me while photographing waves at Wick harbour lighthouse a few years ago, a friend, myself and our equipment were completely drenched. Good laugh later, although not at the time. We didn't manage a shot from under the wave on this occasion, we were too busy trying to survive; our equipment lived on also. SERIOUSLY THOUGH, THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, YOU COULD EASILY BE WASHED INTO THE SEA.

    I like these kind of shots, but they do require a wet suit and a decent underwater camera






    And in case you're wondering - no I didn't take them! I found them on this website. http://magicseaweed.com/photoLab/bro....php?spotId=47 There's loads of local surf photos there, I think they're brilliant!

    While these photo's are commendable, I think they could be classed as cheating! You're supposed to be on dry land and stand in one spot where the biggest breakers are coming right over you, if you move before you've got the photo it doesn't count, and you have to go and do it again. Is anybody keen to have a go at this, I am prepared to act as a sort of umpire to make sure it's done correctly and to take photo's for the record. Action replay shots to be shown on this thread only.

    Lets wait until we have the next big blow up, (shouldn't have to wait long in Caithness) then we'll see if we can organise a field, (or should it be sea) trip. I'll gladly hold the rope, but I might have to let go to take action photo's.

    Maybe we can get Raven to hang onto the end while we get the best shot!

    Any chance of seeing the pics prior to tweeking as would love to see originals, thanks.
    Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
