[Leslie Reid]

You are invited to upload one or more of your landscape photos and, if you’d like, to accompany your image with some commentary: challenges you faced in making the image? your intent for the image? settings? post-processing decisions? why you did what you did? the place and time? or an aspect you’d like feedback on? And please feel free to ask questions of others who have posted images or to join the discussion. If you don’t feel like using words, that’s OK too—unaccompanied images (or unaccompanied words, for that matter) are also very much welcomed. As for the technicalities, the usual forum guidelines apply: files < 1 MB; image size <1000 px maximum dimension.

 

Two days ago I was standing at about 80 ft elevation at Patrick’s Point State Park in northern California as a storm was moving in. It’s hard to get the sense of scale here, though if you look (very) closely there is a gull (with about a 4-ft wingspan) flying near the middle-left edge of the frame. The waves were up to 30 ft high before breaking, the rock is about 50 ft high, and the spray was shooting to over 100 ft. I’ll leave the audio to your imagination.

Leslie,

Spectacular shot.....well done.

I do understand the scale of it. I used to see, feel, and hear this sort of action at Depot Bay and around Newport when I lived on the Oregon coast. Sometimes the Pacific is a roaring beast instead of a pacified kitten.

No crashing waves, no drama in general . . . Shot along the St. John, New Brunswick shoreline

The combination of the natural wonders and the theater is striking.

The combination of the natural wonders and the theater is striking.

 

Both in the cradle of nature and nature in it's cradle.

No waves but there is water and the volume of water is impressive. Not many opportunities to shoot waves in central Arkansas.

About two orders of magnitude smaller waves than in Leslie's example. And, undoubtedly much quieter!

Schoodic Peninsula, part of Acadia NP. I took a lot of crashing waves that day.

The view is more distracting than someone eating popcorn in the next row.
