The Misty Blue Photo

Photographer’s Note

It is strange that I have used 3 different cameras at the same place and every camera gives me a different colour of the same wave? I used paint shop pro 8 auto fix and I had to use neat image outherwise it was to grainy.

magnifique! Les mots me manquent pour qualifier cette photo de rêve

roconnell (327) 2004-10-11 21:55

The stop action on the crashing wave is magnificent as is the beautiful color. Well done.

WALTERito (351) 2004-10-11 22:10

a very good capture, just wonder what shuttertime you used to freeze the waves while at the same time bluring the movement of the foam

scalerman (25787) 2004-10-11 22:56

what an incredible photo. i mean it. amazed...

masdog (89) 2004-10-12 1:10

Wow....very very good. I like how you manage to freeze the wave. You don't see shots that good in surfing movies.

An amazing capture, Richard. You have really captured the force of the wave. I like the colours that we can see in it. Well done.

Elements!
I hope on top of your 3 cameras, you had a towel too.....

painterly demonstration of the forces of nature. Bravo!

jbweasle (9294) 2004-10-22 18:35

Wow! A very dramatic picture. I can almost feel the weight of the water about to crash down. This was captured at exactly the right moment. Great colours too.

Megamuff (34) 2004-11-01 5:41

Luv what Hantu did with it as well!

What can I say except "WOW"! What lens did you use? What shutter speed did you use? Great composition! I like the way the light reflects off the rocks. Rgds.

mpr (327) 2005-05-12 17:27

Just Breathtaking!! Awesome picture, great moment!

irishkiwi (88) 2005-09-28 0:20

Stunning shot. The colour is amazing. I love the light on the rocks, the composition and the clarity of the water just as the wave turns. Fantastic job!

thericerocket26 (439) 2005-09-28 3:20

this is the sweetest shot. how many shots did you take to get a winner like this? me jealous.....

crhieatt (5145) 2005-10-01 5:31

That's pretty impressive Richard - very beautiful, but to my eyes also a little scary - I'd want to be a long way away! Maybe you are!
Great shot.

wadd99 (220) 2005-11-20 4:26

three different cameras? Were they film cameras? each day the color temperature outside is different so you will get different results. Also film is very different even if you use the same type of film. Most pro photographers test several rolls or sheets of film. If they like it they buy more from the same bash "emulsion number". Film that was cut from the same large roll of film.

Oh!!! by the way... great shot

besir1 (2470) 2006-02-07 0:13

wow!! What can I say Richard...we share the same passion for the rough seas :))) excelent photograph!!! Would You tell me wich spot did You shoot it from? :)

genem (303) 2006-06-06 2:42

Hi Richard,

Your waves photos are fantasic! Some of them remembers me Aivazovsky paintings

MLINES (10948) 2006-06-08 22:57

Hi Richard, I love your wave photos. The raw power shows through well here. Imagine you have had some frights in this sort of position? Murray.

sverzi (124) 2006-07-19 10:55

This is hot!

If you surf you know how powerfull this kind of waves are.. and in this photo you can feel it... Powerfull shorebreak.
Regarding the different colors you're getting. it's all about the water reflection sending billions of photons, on different CCDs.Even by slightly tilting your camera it will change..
Great shot the way the light hit the ave , and those random spots of sharpness..... love it!!
ps: in your workshop version .. watchout.. it's getting a bit over done , you might need to desaturate the colors a bit..it's getting spotty as well. The idea though is good;)

rasmis (291) 2006-10-05 15:38

Very impressive shot indeed. Very nice colors and clear photo. Well done.
