Wave Power

[Raven]

I absolutely love the rough and stormy sea... Thank goodness that I dont have to be on a boat at these conditions. It`s a different story at land though...

Looks really dangerous to me!! Is that Ben Loyal in the background??

[Phoenix200416]

Amazing pictures guys!!


I absolutely love the rough and stormy sea...

I have to agree, I love to watch the waves crashing over and love the rollers myself! I wouldn't much fancy being out there on a boat either :)

[Lolabelle]

All these shots are fantastic, we were away at the beach over new year and there were awsome seas, unfortunately I was so pooped after a busy year that I couldn't seem to find the energy to go and take some photos. :~(
Looking at these one, I wish I had made more of an effort.

[Raven]

When I see some good waves I could stand and watch for hours...

I love those big waves too.
I love the sound they make and the "fresh" smell they create.

Mother nature in the raw.:D

Thanks for posting these Raven,as usual pure quality.:D

[Deemac]

Great waves shots Raven, but I personnally prefer the ones in colour (Dunnet Head etc).:)

[Raven]

Oh dan67, a cracker of a wave! :-)

@ Deemac, usually I am the same, but in those two pics there was not much colour involved to I converted them :-)

[honey]

[Raven]

A special thanks to all who braved the elements for these fantastic shots. Nature is awesome and scary :eek: Bring them on folks ! ;)

That sums up Caithness to me, so well, thank you isis

[Deemac]

Isis,
I do like your "3 kinds of power" shot. I would have darkened the sky a bit though. The Caithness energy people will like this one.

[Bobinovich]

Possible tagline for Isis' cracking pic "Past, Present & Future" :D

[Kenn]

Love the one of Golspie , so dark and menacing.
Nothing like a wild sea to get us racing for the cameras.

Good one Bobinovich:D

[Phoenix200416]

Great shots guys! There are so really powerful shots! I love the idea of the "3 kinds of energy" it was a good shot to get them all in. Was it planned that way? I never really plan I just point and click :lol:

No, not clever enough to plan anything. I'm point & click too. I didn't think about it until I went to post the pic.

[dirdyweeker]

Wicker05 , love the 'harbour' photos. I live beside the sea and love pictures of it. Presume you worked some magic to get the red bollards so red?

Isis........love the pic of 3 energies. Allowed to copy??

Excellent pic dan & i hope u dont mind i have nicked it for my desktop background as i love a gd pic o home :)

I wouldn't have the nerve to get close enough to take some of the spectacular photos in this thread :eek: - I'll stick to photographing stormy seas from a safe distance ....

Not sure what you mean by 'copy' but the answer is yes. You can use the pic i have taken and i don't think I can stop anyone going to the same spot and taking a better photo!

I do love the golspie photo and the duncansby one is impressive - on a day like that to walk to that point is beyond the cause.....

[Raven]

If you look closely you can see the Hamnavoe coming in...

[North Light]

Raven,

The layers in this image are wonderful, I presume you were using a long focal length lens here.

[Deemac]

Great shot Raven, but where are the 4 surfers all strutting their stuff, one on each wave!! ;) (I can see a photoshop job here . . . . . .)

It always amazes me the wave frequency cycle (ie the seventh wave theory etc - must be a gravity/tide related issue!!)

[Raven]

@ North Light,

yep, it was done with a 400mm at 310mm

@ Deemac,

haha, yes, I could make one up like that, but that would go in the category "fun with photos" :-)
