Stuart Chapman
Works really well in landscape mode, opening out to the expanse of the bay. The way that the clouds mirror the water movement by seemingly rushing backwards like the sea and the sky are being sucked out of the horizon, bith falling off the edge of the world into the golden glow of light.
The way that the water streaks its white trails of beauty around the 3 rocks on the beach is superb.
Jared Revell replied
thank you Stuart – I like your view on the clouds mirroring the water rushing backwards.
Larry Davis
I can actually feel the rush of the water…..
Practice makes perfect, they say.
You have certainly found a niche’ with water images.
Jared Revell replied
thanks Larry – I’m glad you can feel the power of the water in this shot.
Tom Gomez

Alateia
waow, this is scarey. The water looks like hair, or tentacles. I used to have a dream that powerful waves kept dragging me back into the water, well, actually has happened in my hometown the waves are….....huge…......... averaging 4-6 foot then with a swell, 6-8 then after a storm.. 8 -12’
they make you feel as though you are inside a front loader! lol
Jared Revell replied
it was a bit scarey there Alateia…I couldn’t predict those waves.
they sound like some huge waves in your home town !

Jamie Lee
Ooo I love it… the movement here makes me have to hold onto my chair…awesome work
Jared Revell replied
haha cool – that’s the effect i was after Jamie !
glad I was able to transfer that feeling – I was a bit nervous standing on the rocks taking this, the water was fierce and unpredictable.
thank you ! :-)
Jamie Lee
The ocean always scares me just a little even though it is so beautifulll… glad you didnt fall in you might have been swept away
Kseniya Sovenko
I love how the backwash from the waves kind of leads you into the ocean, its almost like a pathway. Overall, the composition is just stunning. :)
Jared Revell replied
thanks Kseniya, that’s the motion effect I was after, glad it worked :)
i was a little worried standing there shooting, the waves came right up to the cliff face, and were very unpredictable.
Laurie Search
Just beautiful!
Kseniya Sovenko
I know how that feels like. While I was visiting Kauai’s north shore this summer I came upon a little grove where the waves looked like they could sweep in a whole boat. There was only about 10 feet of the sand visible but luckily there were some rocks behind there. The oceans fury was absolutely beautiful and frightening to watch.
Birgitta
Jaw droppingly beautiful. Fine photographer you are. :)
Jared Revell replied
thanks so much Birgitta! :-)
Lisa Ray

Lindsay Oram
Wow this is awesome. I love the softness and patterns in the waves. I have tried to do some long exposure shots at the beach but havent been able to get down there at dawn or dusk and i dont have an ND filter so my sky always looks washed out. but this….this is incredible
Di Edwards
Wow. Your beach and wave shots are something else.
