[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the fourth image in the series. With waves crashing against the cliff face and sea spray thick in the air, I was hesitant to take out my camera, so I decided to sacrifice my first digital compact to the elements, an old 4 mega pixel camera. I was trying to capture some large crashing waves, but found the response of the camera’s shutter too slow and kept missing my target. When I got home I found this one, taken a second after the wave’s impact. I quite like the streaky pattern left against the rock by the wake of the wave. I would never have thought to look at what is left behind the wake, thank goodness for lucky shots!

Technical: Cropping, Sharpening, Levels, Curves and reduced some red saturation.

Hi Pete. good shot, creative effect. The only thing missing is a reference point for scale, a bird flying across would have been great, but we can't have everything. Thanks for sharing.

Regards Phil

Peter Hi;
This is an excellent series and I think your best work. Here again I really like the sense of motion, colors and POV. Excellent note, as well, thanks.
Congratulations, very very well done.

Yes, sometimes luck teaches us to look differently next time. I too like the abstract in nature that you have found. And apparently 4 Mpixel photos are just fine for many purposes. TFS. Cheers. Karin
