Sp-u-lash!

Wave versus rock.

Taken at Pescadero beach last weekend, before the ugly stuff started to fall around here.

It's rainy season, so you'll likely see pictures taken at something approaching weeklong intervals, then meted out one a day for a while.

SP-UH-LASH!!!!...

As I mentioned in yesterday's entry, I was there primarily to take pictures of crashing waves.

As my day has been somewhat tough, and I didn't actually get out to snap any photos today, I'm including one of the better ones from yesterday's trip to Fort Point.

Hope I'm forgiven for posting something not completely new....

Beach rock, plus, some movies...

Went down to Sharp Park beach in Pacifica to get some beach/waves pictures. Loved this rock and the way the water and foam swirled around it as it crashed into the shore.

I've been toying around with what I call "motor-drive movies". That is to say, I take a couple of dozen or more pictures with the motor-drive mode on my D70, then stitch them togther using iMovie on the Mac. The effect is a little like stop-action movies (which, technically, they are).

Here are a couple of them that I've done.

This first one is of the same rock as today's picture.



This one is one (again of waves) that I took when we went out to the Point Bonita lighthouse a couple of weeks ago.



And here is one that has a series of glacier calvings from our 2005 trip to Alaska's Hubbard Glacier.
