Seascapes

This stormy seascape has been timed to perfection. The wave has been frozen right at its peak and is crisply defined thanks to the fast 1/1000 sec shutter speed. The framing has ensured that the lighthouse in the distance isn’t obscured and the relatively flat, overcast sky doesn’t detract from the detail of the wave. This is monochrome seascape photography at its finest.

This is another entry from Norway’s beautiful Lofoten Islands. While the archipelago is bursting with photogenic landscapes, the rainbow and the low-hanging clouds create a sense of mysticism that’s rarely captured in-camera. If you look closely you’ll notice a faint second rainbow, which makes capturing this natural phenomenon in such a stunning location doubly unusual.

The aptly named Dragon’s Eye at Uttakleiv in Norway’s Lofoten Islands is a photography hotspot, and even so this beautifully composed image stands out. The sweeping lines in and around the rockpool lead the eye out to sea, and invites it to settle on the mountains in the background. We particularly like how the pink tones in the sky complement the reddish hue of the rocks.

This exciting blend of seascape and astro photography was created using a star-tracking mount. This prevented the formation of star trails during the lengthy 40-minute exposure and allowed for the capture of a perfectly crisp Milky Way. The wrecked merchant vessel MV Alta adds interest to the foreground while adding plenty of depth too.

We think this image would be better suited to a wildlife category as opposed to seascapes. However, we wanted to leave a review because this is a truly stunning image. The pink lighting is gorgeous and we love how the galloping Camargue horses have been captured amidst the splashing water. A very fine image indeed.
