That's exactly how the British summers has been this year, dark skies and turbulent seas.You really captured the movement here,seems a bit dark to me though.

Exactly right - a very dark stormy sky with just a small break in it allowing the sun through.royd63uk wrote:

Handheld using the DA* 300 - not particularly easy, given the strength of the wind

I guess I'll be the lone detractor here and say that this isn't one of my fave ocean shots. The lighting doesn't bother me - in fact it makes it look moonlit, if not for the wisp of cloud visible. It's the lack of context. There's nothing there that gives you a true feel for the power and immensity that is surely present. Yes, it's a roiling sea, but it fills so much of the frame that it loses something. There's a snip of a boat, but I feel that more of the boat would help with context. Or a shoreline, or more of that mountain in the background, or..... just something to relate it to.

The light is good, the contrast with the sky is good. It has hints of interest - the boat, the mountainous shore.
But to me it still seems too much like a crop from something greater.

I never saw the boat / mountain, to think I still drive, I'll let you all know when I'm next on the roads, so you can all stay in.

Thank you all for your comments.
The boat is the top half of a navigation mark and the mountain is the eastern end of the Isle of Wight (approximately 6-7 miles away).
I prefer this image to any of the others that I took with 'objects of interest' in them. An example of one of those images is under the heading of 'What might have been' in Your Photos.
