March Image - Big wave

This photo was taken close to Aberdeen in Scotland. I was waiting for a big wave smashing the rocks and I chose the place to have a sunset behind. The sea was almost calm but close to the beach the waves get pretty high. I've done a few shots and when I get home I discovered my shadow on a wave. That surprised me because I didn't plan this effect. But the picture wasn't good enough because the sky was clear. I always try to use the tripod (you have a proof on the picture) so I could make an HDR from three different exposures. After that I add the sky from the other picture which I took on the sea ( working offshore I have opportunity to watch the sunrises and sunsets every day so I have really amazing collection of them from whole world). I had the sky and I had a wave with a shadow on left side but the right side was empty. So I added the wave from the previous shots to have better composition.

I am just an amateur. I amthinking about professional photography in a future. For the moment I am in the process of building new website Fotoferia with a team of polish photographers. This social website will be for advanced users and amateurs, consisting of galleries and club for the best Polish photographers who would like to achieve FIAP and PSA titles. I am looking forward to achieving AFIAP this year and commencing PSA star rating. I like landscapes and people in photography. My website www.acrux.cdx.pl and e-mail kowi3 @ wp.pl
