Whats on your wall?

My Diplomas after 18 years in the French Foreign Legion sorry to be a bore but not one of my photos seem as important to me as that. Ian

Not too many so far, five are hanging:
This is the biggest one, 75 x 50 cm

The others are all the same style (couldn't find the printed version of one of them) and printed 60 x 40 cm:

There were some more holidays since, trouble is that it is so difficult to choose the one shot summing it up. I have one from Kaua'i but it's not hanging yet.

Lovely shots Ralf, they deserve to be on the wall.

The wave one looks fantastic.
Can imagine that one being printed realy large.
How did you take it?

Thanks i-Berg!

davex, the wave was taken from the beach with my good old *istD in 2005. I was on Ascension Island and looked around the museum in Georgetown (we had some days to kill after a cruise; the plane to Brize Norton only flew once a week). From the distance I saw the spray quite high up so I wandered over to the beach. I did a whole series there (just counted, 17 shots; would be many more these days ), with this one I got lucky. It just seems right. It's not perfect but as close as I got so far, I think. I used the Kiron 70-210 that I had from my Ricoh days (one of the reasons I went with Pentax on digital).

Of course there was a bit of PP work involved, the air was full of spray so the RAW file without any PP trickery looks quite flat.
