Rolling waves and dancing ballerinas

Slow shutter - somewhat impressionistic

Every now and then I try to do something a little bit different and this is one of those times. There were some lovely rolling waves and no birds, so I had a play to see what I could do with the waves using the big lens. I was looking for that moment when the wave curls over on itself and splashes back down.

 The image blow is one of the smaller waves but I liked the way the water and froth gave the impression of little dancing ballerinas along the top edge of the wave as it reached it's peak. Then there is the visible power of the rolling wave in the next image appealed because of the smooth lines in the curves, followed by the final image looking into the vortex of the wave.  It was an interesting 30 minutes spent trying something different.
