Splash
May 11, 2008Do you visit the beach (or the Shore as we say on the East Coast where I grew up) and focus on one element more than another?. I like to catch a wave as it washes against a rock or rocks. I’m not referring to the kinda waves generated by a storm.
Just the daily wash of waves against the shore. There’s something about catching the splash and spray created by a swell reaching the beach. Digital allows me to indulge my desire to catch that brief moment in time and really observe it. To see how the water spreads out. The tiny droplets separating from the mass hanging momentarily weightless. Before gravity and time pull it back to the sand and water that flowed around the rock.
Sometimes I’ll freeze the action with a fast shutter speed or present a more silky flow of water around the rock with a slow shutter speed.
