Description
AloooooooooHa!
Welcome to the weekend!! Been pretty busy this week just trying to keep above water and cope with life. All is well, just haven't had time to shoot anything new..and my commenting has seriously suffered some set backs...sorry about that. I will try to catch up as time allows, forgive me.
A pretty huge Southwest swell has been hitting the shores of the islands this week, so I headed out this morning to walk to some areas I haven't been before. I came across this bay along a rocky coast and shot some images of the swell pounding the shore. This was a particularly hairy shoot as no where on the reef was really safe to shoot. I got wet more than once and ate a lot of sea spray...but glad to report I'm fine and survived intact. The day was overcast and shooting conditions were not optimum, but once in awhile the light allowed for a few shots.
Thanks for stopping in and having a little looksie, I do appreciate the time you've spent here...Much Aloha to all and enjoy the weekend!!

Wow thats some amazing shot, just breathtaking.
I'm not one who uses the word much but this pic deserves it - Wow !!!
At first sight I was wondering how in the heck you got this shot! That is a people-swallowing wave! Those who protect you were working overtime that day I imagine. Glad you are safe~ =)
This is something out of the ordinary.....indeed! This capture is phenomenal, The momentum of the waves, the sharpness of the rapid-like splashes are highly textured..... sublime is what it is! Terrific image! Dangerous but glorious!
Unbelievable! Glad you are safe and that you risk your neck for shots like these. Just incredible.. What depth and color!
Hey Dave, nice to see you out there updating us on the southwest swell, this is an amazing catch, I'll bet you got a little wet capturing this?? Millions of gallons crashing over is a sight to behold? WOW!!!!!! I'll bet you were sheltering that camera of yours, and that's a job in and of itself!!!!!! Powerful work, my friend... Aloha... ;-)
