Spectacular spray

Spectacular spray

It’s funny how different rocks have different spray patterns and this one at Redgate Beach, down in the far south west of Western Australia is no exception. The rock next to this one – out of shot – creates a high, bulky mass of spray, not at all like this. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get both lots at the same time – it didn’t seem to work that way! LOL
Redgate Beach itself, which is on the Indian Ocean, is a fabulous place some 350+ kms south of Perth and much loved by the surfing community

    This is even better than the last one! Wow! what a clever capture – timed just prefectly, peter! Well done. :) xx

  • georgieboy98 replied

    Aw thanks so much! But all I did was sit on a rock clicking the shutter button every time it looked like a big wave was forming! Great fun – if you’ve got nothing else planned!! Take care, Peter

  • George Cousins

    George Cousins

    hi Peter, I see you’ve been having fun again! As soon as I saw that shot on the side of the page I had a good idea it was yours. That must be a great stretch of coastline, sure would like to make the trip along it..a perfect shot, and we both know it takes time and patience to get it just at the right moment. You did it! Congrats on the Feature too :)

    Cheers, George

  • georgieboy98 replied

    Hiya George. As always it’s wonderful to have a visit from you and your comments are always good to read. Very many thanks. What a great thing it would be if we could grab our cameras and cover some of these coastal areas in both our countries together! All the best, Peter

    very similar to bridal spray, which can be seen at granite island, victor harbor, in south australia.cheers.

  • georgieboy98 replied

    Thanks for the visit and comment. I had a look through your portfolio and we seem to be on the same wavelength with a lot of our shots! I’ve added you to my watchlist so’s I can have a more leisurely look through. Best wishes, Peter

    sharon wingard

    great shot

  • georgieboy98 replied

    Very many thanks indeed Sharon. Nice of you to drop by and leave a comment – much appreciated. Take care. Peter

  • Anne-Marie Ladegaard

    Anne-Marie Lad...

    Have you tried using the continuous shooting mode on your camera for this kind of shot, Peter? I use that setting for that kind of capture and for bird shots too. Very useful to get that one good shot and ditch the rest!! LOL! :)

  • georgieboy98 replied

    That’s a great idea and I can’t think why it’s never occurred to me to do it. I have done that with ordinary ocean rollers but never with spray. Now I can’t wait for the swell to start building up again so’s I can get down to the rocky part of our beach! Thanks Anne-Marie. Hugs

  • kalaryder

    kalaryder

    Love the fan shape of the wave breaking, great timing

  • georgieboy98 replied

    Thanks very much Mik. It’s certainly one of the more attractive ones. Each ocean rock has it’s own distinctive spray pattern and this one is exactly the same whenever we’ve been there. Peter

    Whoaaa…nice catch:o)

  • georgieboy98 replied

    Many thanks Els. The beauty of this one is that you don’t even have to be there at any particular time because it’s almost always like this! Peter

  • Wendy  Slee

    Wendy Slee

    This is pretty spectacular!!! A real “wow” shot!!! And I bet you enjoyed every minute of it!

  • georgieboy98 replied

    Great comment Wendy and many thanks. Gee, it’s good to see you again! You’re right – it WAS fun! Just to stand there – or sit on a rock – and watch the ocean is a very popular pastime and mine was by no means the only camera clicking away that day! Take care, Peter

    Wendy Slee

    Hey Peter, I was going to comment on the therapeutic value of taking these shots….. I spent an hour yesterday at bunbury watching and photographing the backwash….. after getting a couple of amazing shots last week, I find it is so addictive and yet very relaxing…. so had to go back for more!
    Same happens at Yallingup…... one can become fixated….(well this one can! lol)

  • georgieboy98 replied

    Yes, you can get some good surf at Bunbury, but when you get round the other side of the cape it becomes more rocky and that’s when the spray starts to get really spectacular and exciting!

  • Marita Sutherlin

    Marita Sutherlin

    Hair-raising!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whew!!!! Quite amazing timing on this, dear mate!!!!!!!! Achtung Baby!!!

  • georgieboy98 replied

    Hi Marita. Please don’t talk to me about something being hair raising!! LOL – definitely out of order, but I’ll let you off this time! Delighted that you like this one – very many thanks. Peter

  • georgieboy98 replied

    Thanks very much for the visit and also the very kind words. It’s great to meet you. I’ve lived by – or close to – the sea all my life and have never lost my fascination with it. I could take ocean shots all day and not get tired of it!
    Best wishes, Peter

  • DonDavisUK

    DonDavisUK

    Stunning capture Peter, love the big splash. Awesome. Don.

  • georgieboy98 replied

    Thanks very much Don. The amazing thing about this is that it was by no means the best spray we saw – why is it that “miracles” happen when you’re either looking the other way or someone has distracted you with a few words? LOL C’est la vie, as a wise man once said! Cheers, Peter

  • Shelagh Linton
