A wave "fountain"
Uploaded: October 21, 2007
I made the photo last summer. I noticed how the sea played with the rocks: the waves came, went back, came again... It took at least 20 shots to capture the moment of a large splash that reminded me of a fountain.
I played a bit with the image balance (of the whole photo, not any colors or parts of it in separate), but did not change anything else.

Timing is everything and you've captured a beauty, Tiia!<:))My husband and I have a sailboat and I've tried capturing waves as they hit the boat's bow. All I manage to do is get my lens wet!(LOL)<:)) #4960894
Tiia Vissak October 22, 2007
Thanks!The trick is to push the button when the wave has gone back. It's also best not to be too close to the wave (if you do not have a special underwater camera or case).
