Boom!
Storm wave slamming into blue ice growlers on the shore, Diamond Beach, Iceland. The waves hit the ice with a huge boom and water mixed with black sand exploded into the air. Timing is everything and I had to judge the incoming waves carefully to avoid getting wet.....although several people got soaked and lost gear. I liked the chaos of the breaking wave juxtaposition against the smooth blue ice.
P.S Loyd, Wayne ...shot at 62mm 1/2000s so fairly close, but I didn't get wet, since I know how to read the incoming waves.

on November 19, 2020Very dramatic wildness in this stormy scene! Glad you (and your gear) came out of it unscathed--you did a good job of reading the waves and (probably) being quick!
