Rough Seas

[Grumpy John]

I took a drive to Cadillac Canyon this arvo hoping to get some nice long exposures during sunset. The weather was just too wild to get into the canyon so I hung around on the rocks and sand hoping to get some good shots.

All shots taken with the R6 and RF24-240 lens.

#1 Waves crashing and thunder clouds rolling in.

f4.5, 1/2000 ISO 160. 28mm

#2

F10.0 1/4 ISO5000. 28mm.

#3 Bore Beach.

F9.0 1/2000 ISO 500. 70mm.

It started bucketing down not long after this shot so I packed up and sat in the car for a while hoping it would pass but the weather wasn't going to let up so I headed home.

Great shots of very wild conditions, GJ. TFS.

Rough as guts I reckon. Lovely action of stormy weather. We're getting a bit of stormy weather here too, but I'm indoors watching the footy and having a pie for lunch. Is that what Melbourne are having today?

[Isac]

I hope the pies win. It would help Carlton in the finals. If the Pies learned to kick straight they'd be on top!

[Grumpy John]

It's painful to watch. Bad kicking is bad footy as my F.I.L. was keen to say.

[Isac]

Kicking skills have lowered over the years. They seem to drop the ball a metre from their boot and hope like hell that they connect. When I played you just about kicked it out of your hand and it was a lot more accurate.

We are getting a fair bit of that sort of weather. It will be interesting to see at what focal legth you will take a lot of your images. I had someone show me years ago how to get that data from exif and was surprised I averaged close to your standard 50. I wish I could remember how it was done. May have to call that another project.

It does look rough John, and the slow shutter in #2 gives an interesting effect.

Thanks Alan, I'm always a tad nervous using my camera with all the salt water spray being blown around by the wind. Always give the camera and lens/es a good clean when I get home.

Thanks for commenting Hans.
