Crashing Waves - a photo on Flickriver

Crashing Waves

            Usually when I am around water, I break out the ND filters and start shooting long exposures.  But on this occasion on the California coast, I was trying to capture the power and fury of the waves that were crashing into the coastline.  These waves were huge in comparison to what I am used to here on the east coast.  The rocks that they are breaking over were big rocks, and these waves towered over them...the noise they made as they crashed into the coast was one of power and force.  The blue green of the water was pretty cool too! I framed this one to include the lighthouse in the distance, 135mm really brought it back into the scene.
