I intended to set out for a sunrise this morning for the first time in several weeks but the weather wasnt cooperating. However, I knew just the spot to go when there is wind and waves - Stoney Point. This point sits at the end of a 300 mile trench that funnels wave activity towards shore. The surf is so large that professional surfers compare it to waves found in Hawaii.

Enough jabbering:

Some great shots, I like the last two especially.


.... blames the idealistic society we live in, a society that demands perfection however, the concept of perfection is fundamentally flawed. Once perfection is reached it is no longer perfect, since a new standard is created based on an "improved vision" of the original perfection. This creates a infinite cycle which inevitably leaves to disappointment.

I also like the slow shots, they seem to be everyones favorites these days.

With the big waves, I would be interested more in stopping the action of the big action.

I also know how hard it can be to get the lighting correct in these situations.


just a few of my thoughts...
