Paulo Gomes | "the_stalkerPt" 2 years ago

so powerfull it gave a "chill" in my spine, lol!!!
the exposure time you choose was dead-on: not too fast to freeze everything, but slow enough to "drag" the motion"
congrats
Paulo

mm767cap Ha! Thanks Paulo! I really appreciate the thoughtful comment.

A capture that has about everything; beautiful light, perfect comp, well chosen shutter speed to get the right motion and drama, and a little fragile bird to enhance the brutal waves and hard rocks. I wanna go back to Oregon, it´s a lovely place on earth!!!

mm767cap What a wonderful and thoughtful comment, Mats. Thank you very much for taking the time to write. I agree about Oregon being lovely. Let me know if you are ever heading back out here!

Sandy Powers 2 years ago

Oh, this is so amazing! I love that bird. Its so amazing that he was so still for your long shutter speed. He must have been totally mesmerized -- understandably. This is a mesmerizing scene!

mm767cap Thanks Sandy :) I snuck this one in here! Funny thing, these violent waves are crashing all around him and he seriously couldn't have cared less. He muse see it all the time, I guess.

Another stunner from you. The mix of movement in strong light gives this such an unnusual appeal. Great technique, and wonderful composition.

Monastor 2 years ago

It has everything a seascape needs. A stunning shore, dynamic waves and the gull to show the enormity of the cliffs. Your choice of shutter speed for this one is just excellent!

mm767cap Very very kind of you Monastor. I did a TON of experimenting with different speeds, and ended up liking this one the best. I could stay at this spot for days just watching the surf

very good water blur!
i like the color and the bird in the right

mm767cap Thanks! Truth be told, I didn't even notice the bird for about 5 minutes. When I saw him, I looked back through the images and couldn't believe how long he had been sitting there without me figuring it out.
