The wind was so strong, I had to lean myself and tripod against the outside of the car to get photos.

Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Thu, 07/19/12 16:04 I like the way you caught that huge wave as is seems ready to engulf the lighthouse, the contrast between the foreground elements of the picture and the lightness of the sky which serves to make those foreground elements stand out strongly in the image, and the sense of power that is evoked by that giant wave. Comments by Garry Schaefer on Thu, 07/19/12 19:15 A bit soft but, under the circumstances you have described, great timing and take on some heavy duty action. Comments by Ruth Rittichier on Thu, 07/19/12 19:38 Garry, I softened it with Orton technique because I thought it was over sharp. Here it is without it. Comments by Jeff Dye on Thu, 07/19/12 21:10 Good timing. Lighthouses this close to the water take a beating. Google 'light houses and big waves.'. You'll find stills and video. It's a wonder some didn't topple over. Comments by Maria Salvador on Fri, 07/20/12 02:14 Quite an impressive wave-crashing! Comments by Pietro Cecchi on Fri, 07/20/12 11:57 You got it, Ruth... :) A refreshing take for the joy of our eyes. Comments by Ellen Williams on Fri, 07/20/12 12:29 Excellent timing on this! Very well done, just beautiful. Comments by Sandi MacDonald on Fri, 07/20/12 15:18 Lovely lighthouse image. Good clouds and big waves. Nice job.;-) Comments by Steve Owen on Fri, 07/20/12 15:21 Great catch! I would not want to be on the lover level of the lighthouse. Comments by John Long on Sat, 07/21/12 05:40 Great timing Ruth - I prefer the sharper one. Comments by Bruce Hunter on Sun, 07/22/12 14:56 I think this is the best of all your lighthouse photos, Ruth... You nailed it ! You caught The Moment ! Excellent !
