Butterflies and Huricanes

Uploaded: April 15, 2006

Description

I had to keep running up and back to these rocks before a wave would hit me. It took at least twenty rounds and people were looking at me like I was crazy. They didn't faze me. When I am in the zone I stop at nothing to get what I want.

I keep coming back to your work, Jon Michael. This photo is stunning, and I admire all your photos.

How long are your exposures, and do you use ND filters? Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. Erika I take 99% of my shots on the central Coast of California. I don't like to disclose the exact location of shot's b/c as an x-surfer and oceanographer I like to keep my beaches as little populated as possible.

Linda I almost always use ND filters they are the single most important peice of equipment I have. My exposures are usually around 1/2 sec to 2 sec's. But sometimes they can be minutes long. Thanks again. #2702617

Huge Congrats Jon-Michael

I think you have another winner here.
While I was viewing your gallery I realized I was holding my breath, it's some of the most beautiful work I've ever seen. After reading your bio I understand why...
Best of luck to you in the next round.
