Huge seas slammed into the west coast of Lewis and I knew they would likely be at their most impressive at Dail Mhor and Dail Beag. This is the former a sandy bay with some gorgeous rock stacks at the end of the beach which usually receives a battering following a storm. My hopes were duly realised as I took a sequence of lovely shots of turquoise water exploding onto stack and sandy shore. The offshore breeze ensured my camera lens stayed free from spray and created a plume of spray blown back off the rising wave front.
Ian, this scene is quite dramatic and you have captured it very well. The colors, mist and interesting rock formations all come together to form a beautiful image. Your shutter speed appears to be spot on! I have no nits!
A beautiful image Ian, the action of the surf is very dramatic. While the turquoise color of the water is marvelous, I also really like the “C” shaped white stripes in that middle wave, they create a tremendous sense of motion. No nits from me, I’m simply enjoying this one a lot.
Beautifully captured image. The balance of the ocean, rocks and waves with a slower shutter really make this one come together. Very pleasing. Nicely done!
Ian, that’s some pretty impressive beach break and some fierce stormy offshore breeze conditions. I’m really liking all that lush emerald green. Aside from the stacks, the warm tones of the FG shallows add interesting variety.
Love Dail Mhor, almost as much as I do Dail Beag! Nice capture. Have you thought about introducing a tiny element of colour theory? The sky with a tiny bit more vibrance could resonate well with the sea.
