Which equals one thing, Huge waves :D
Time to get some photos as well as walking the Terrible Twosome.
Arriving in the car park the tide was crashing in already , waves just starting to going over the promenade further along past Morrison's.
A quick run on the beach for the beasts before the tide comes right up!
Yes i was being very careful not to throw the ball too far :)
They are having fun :)
I have put the dogs in the car and now join all the other photographers that have all come down to photograph the waves ....... the tide is now up to the big rocks on the left side of the small beach , crouching down behind these rocks is giving a bit of protection from the wind . Jan has gone to Morrisons shopping and left me to it :)
I have put the 100-400 lens on, and using the tripod at its lowest position for stability.i have tried a few shots but nothing to my liking , so time for the Lee Big Stopper , a 10 stop nd filter ! Madness in this wind on a long lens i know, but will never know unless i try.
After a half dozen attempts,but with way too long exposures to keep the camera still enough in this wind and all resulting images are blurred , but opening lens wide open to shorten the exposure time has worked and........... i have just shot this ...
100mm , f5 , 3.2 seconds. Yay this is one of my favourite images all year :D
A wave has just gone right over my feet, much to the amusement of the other photogs !!!!!!
Bummer!
Moving across to near the fort wall, i have shot this handheld with a faster shutter speed :)
I am standing on a sand island with waves swirling around both sides , one of the other photogs, who i know, is standing in his wellies to my right in the waves, but he didn't notice a really big one coming in! its gone past his knees :D that will teach him for laughing at me earlier! lol
The light is changing all the time , getting really dark over out to sea .
Another contender for my favorite image of the year!
Noticing huge waves crashing over the prom, i am going to move from here and will have to run across the wall between the marine lake and the sea as the waves are going right across!
I made a run for it and...........Didn't make it! Oops wet again :(
Look at these waves ! Wow"
This one got me!!!!!! worth it though for this image :)
The wall between the lake and sea is now too dangerous to walk over ,so i have to walk all the way around the road to get back to the car park,Jan has phoned and is heading back to the car along the road lol . When i get there ,the car park is now filling up with sea water!! , the waves are going right over the prom now. Jan has already moved the car while i have just enough time for a couple quick pics before time to leave.
Stormy Seas !
Time to leave , the police are closing the promenade as we drive back towards the motorway!!!!!!!!
its been a great morning, with two of my favourite images of the year :)
