The Poetry of Chaos

The Poetry of Chaos

This shot was taken in The Water Run on the Coastal Walk in Royal NP just south of Sydney Australia. It was a wild and stormy evening and the sun just started to emerge from the clouds behind me as it was setting. The blue tint to the water comes for a very short period around sunset – you can just see it in any moving water at this time in the right light but the camera really picks it up.

    Love the turbulence of the water you have captured here Geoff. Its kind of got an ominous feel to it… as if, you turn your back for a second and those waves will have you.

    You are spot on about those sneaky waves Rhana – a few times they came right over where I took this from but luckily at those times I was out of dunking range taking shots from a different angle lol.
    Sharon, roy and Michael – thank you.

    I love this Geoff. The first time I saw it I almost thought it was a painting because the waves look like brush strokes. Great dynamism is this picture!

    Very dramatic shot, with the solidness of the rocks, the inconsistency of the water and the dreaminess of the clouds.

    Stunning photo Geoff. How close to the action did you get on this photo? I really appreciate the setting information you give in your descriptions also.

  • Geoff Coleman... replied

    lol Richard – yes the waves were breaking right over where I took this – I’ve got a couple where all you can see is the falling of water – quite surreal – I must post them. I was lucky enough to bolt out of the way for the big ones but a couple of times it was close lol.

    The ocean is incredible and in my opinion holds much wisdom for life and where we are heading. Also find that light and shutter speeds and even my own mind can so affect the feel of my photos even a millisecond apart.
