Description
Howzit Everyone!
Up at sunrise this morning, and raring to go to one of my favorite spots to shoot waves. This area was over run by lava a few years ago and the beach was formed about 1/2 mile out from it's original spot. So the beach where these waves are forming is a fairly new beach in geological time...but still not a beach to swim in yet as the undertow here is mighty dangerous. I will post a few more shots of the different waves and their colors over the next few nights. This wave looks like I did some selective coloring on, but it was overcast this morning and just the inside of the wave had any color...the outside looks like sepia tones, none were added...kinda odd, but depending on how the light shines on them what colors appear as you will see of over the next few nights.
Just a side note here on the size of this wave. I estimate the size here to be 3 to 5 ft. measured here in Hawaii from the back of the wave. The actual face can be 5 to 7 ft. high. I am about 5' 10" and could easily stand up straight in this wave.
Thanks for stopping in and for your kind comments on my last posts...Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend....Aloha!

This is far out!! Now this is what I call a WAVE!! The only time I've seen any around here that get to this size, don't have that beautiful coloring to them. Ours are a dingy tan/brown in color.

You could easily stand up straight huh? Pffft...yeah right! That wave would knock me over for sure!!! Just the other day my wife saw a pretty much identical shot in a photomagazine as this one and she told me it was a fake cause no waves could be captured like that. Well heres proof for her. You are amazing Dave!!!! Keep these suckers coming will ya! #:O)

How well deserved your election for GOM is you're showing us here once again! Tremendous waves captured by you so well! Love it! The color, well, many factors do play a role. The light, the reflections, the colors under this water and (as I mentioned in one of my recent postings) the selective color-absorption of the water! Would love to see it moving, so hear it, and to smell the salty wind! Outstanding work, Dave! :)
