Coastal Moods.

Anyone who lives near a coast knows how dynamic an environment it is.
I got the first shot this morning then remembered an old shot of when the weather wasn't so peaceable.
I got spray on my lens taking the second - got wet too.

Nice shots. You can really see the swell bulging in #1 :thumbup: :thumbup:

Absolutely gorgeous. Can I ask what kind of camera you use? :thumbup:

I really liked your shots. Some folks like to use longer exposure times so the breaking waves "smooth out". But to me, seeing the water's splash more sharply gives a much better depiction of power and grace. I also liked your true color depiction of the scene.

Thanks for the compliment, Murray. The North Sea does get quieter than that, but not very often.

Thanks for the compliment, whitewitch. #1 was taken with a Nikon P7700, and #2 was taken a while back with a Lumix FS30 compact.

Thanks, Kingmapix. Like you, I'm biased towards the more natural look. (Just as well, with my PP skills being what they are).

Thanks again, Whitewitch. I've been pleasantly surprised by the P7700.

I'm in shock at the superior quality for such a reasonable priced camera. But then again, it's Nikon! :-D

Do I detect a bias?? Since I got it, I've followed advice from various quarters and I keep the f-stop higher than the camera would use in auto mode. I also use centre-weighted exposure and autofocus, and I've been working on my camera-holding skills. I also think that the latest generation of CMOS sensors are a genuine improvement over older ones (there were a few wrinkles to iron out).
I see you describe yourself as an artist. Do you combine art and photography?
