Thanks Karl, it does doesn't it ....Yet the truth was completely different!....the surfers were out in their hundreds making the most of the ideal conditions.Barry thanks. That looks like a frozen lake to me. :facesmack:
Many thanks Barry. What an effort and story!Thanks Karl, it does doesn't it ....Yet the truth was completely different!....the surfers were out in their hundreds making the most of the ideal conditions.
I had to climb down off of the grassy platform as it was too spongy and windy for the tripod for multiple long exposures to the firmer rocky ledge below...Alison lowered down my gear to me.
I was now much nearer to the Atlantic Ocean where I could now encompass the rocks, yet I could still include the horizion (21mm Loxia) but not the sun that was causing havoc with flare from sea spray on the lens.
The waves were crashing in at about ten feet in height literally just below me causing the sea to boil a few feel t away causing all that lovely blurry white foam.
I tried several versions (mixing up the settings and exposure)...By the time I was finished me and my gear were looking pretty wet and caked in salt water.
I hope you enjoy the pic...I worked pretty hard for that one (and a few others yet to come)....Cheers Barry
Thanks Karl, I just wash/wipe down my gear with a wet (freshwater) cloth and air dry.Many thanks Barry. What an effort and story!
I hope your gear didn't suffer from the salt water! :bugeyes:
How do you clean your gear after a torture session like this?
I am curious now what a single shot of the crashing waves looks like. :grin:
Thanks again.
