Stormy Seas by graemestevens

Stormy Seas

So, the storm continues. We're in Day 3 now and it's cold, excessively windy and we also have a charmingly delightful driving rain.
Sorry about your rotten weather. The photo is beautiful. Lovely on black.

That's some serious wave action!
September 22nd, 2014  
Great weather for photography outings. Super image, Graeme.
September 22nd, 2014  
I open my laptop and what's the first thing I see - knew it was yours hahahaha - it does look very bleak indeedy - the sun is shining here at the moment but there are clouds so it may or may not last
September 22nd, 2014  
Fabulous and moody wave action. Super details!
September 22nd, 2014  
Great shot - it is like that up here as well - horrible.
September 22nd, 2014  
excellent... now you need some lightening ;p
September 22nd, 2014  
Sounds totally unpleasant but a good excuse to cuddle up at home.
September 22nd, 2014  
Impressive waves. Love the mood you've captured.
September 22nd, 2014  
Dark and gloomy! Very moody shot!
September 22nd, 2014  
A nice day to stay at home with a hot choc and a good book! Well done for braving the storms. A very moody shot.

@graemestevens @northy and a shark or 2
September 22nd, 2014  
Good for you, getting out there and braving the yucky weather. I like the wave action.
September 22nd, 2014  
No shipwrecks yet?? Looks decidedly wintry.
September 22nd, 2014  
Powerful waves... wonderful! Glad you are enjoying your driving rain.
September 22nd, 2014  
Great capture, sorry to hear about your horrid weather. I don't suppose you want to hear that it was a gorgeous sunny day here!
September 22nd, 2014  
Marvelous capture, very moody, perfect in b&w.
September 22nd, 2014  
I know this scene so well and I like the detail. The dark cliffs and the white spray and those foamy waves piling into the rocks and beach! fav
September 22nd, 2014  
Incredible- sorry bout ur crazy weather.
September 22nd, 2014  
Wow...look at that wave! It looks cold! Great capture!
September 22nd, 2014  
Makes for some great photos, though!!

@kimkyra Slipping into my cardigan as we speak...
@kt8ird Thanks very much - it's now quite calm...bizarre
@brigette Thanks very much :)
@drfleury14 And it wasn't the biggest one either, but it was the best shot...I kept getting blown sideways
@bigugly Thanks very much, not so good for my hair though...sigh
@annied The first thing I saw when I opened my laptop was another bill!
@amandal Thanks very much :)
@spanner Thanks - it's calmed down quite a lot now. Too late for my hair though...
@northy I was waiting patiently for it but alas...we only seem to get sheet lightning here anyway
@taffy It was very unpleasant and I don't cuddle. Bah humbug.
@voiceprintz Thank you very much :)
@creativefool Thanks - that's how I roll
@888rachel I like storms, my hair has other opinions on the matter :)
@epcello Thanks very much - I nearly got blown off my view point
@golftragic The temperature did drop subsantially - and oddly enough there is an old ship wreck a wee bit further south of this point
@rosiekerr Thanks very much - I loved the driving rain, can't help but be happy when it drives right into my eyes and blinds me ;)
@ukandie1 You suppose correctly but thank you anyway :)
@bill_fe Thanks very much good sir :)
@maggiemae Thank you very much indeed :)
@joemuli Can't be helped and thanks very much :)
@harbie Indeed, and it wasn't the biggest one either - just the best shot as I kept having to hang on tot he sign I was leaning on. Or get blown off the cliff top.
@cailts It does at that, thanks very much :)
September 22nd, 2014  
@graemestevens well my view was definitely better
September 22nd, 2014  
@graemestevens am I wrong to think a photo as you were blown off the cliff top would be pretty cool ;-)
September 22nd, 2014  
@annied It was an interesting bill though. Here's the story that goes with it:
My mobile phone was on contract with Vodafone, along with the landline, interweb and TV, but since my mobile contract had expired 3 months ago I finally got around to going back to a humble prepay. It's all I need. Within 12 hours of switching I was the lucky recipient of an email from Vodafone to inform me that as I no longer had a mobile contract with them that the price of the landline, interweb and TV would be increasing by $25 per month.
Unlike them I got straight on the phone and called them and they confirmed that it was indeed going up unless I put my mobile back on a contract.
I told them stick it up their arse, along with the rest of my business.
Somewhat miraculously the price has now gone down and is less than I was paying originally.
Lesson for today: You can get discount by threatening to insert a sky decoder, telephone and modem into someone's posterior.
September 22nd, 2014  
@annied A photo as I sailed through the air would be awesome
September 22nd, 2014  
@graemestevens
I learned that lesson a while ago and have employed it often since - it is one very good lesson to know - all the telcos use the mobile plan to bring prices down - they really want that business
September 22nd, 2014  
@graemestevens oh and yes that would be a really cool photo - a selfie I would hope
September 22nd, 2014  
@annied Yes, but this new method of getting discount has inspired me. From now on I'm going to take my phone, sky box and modem to the supermarket with me and wave them threateningly at the check out staff...
September 22nd, 2014  
@graemestevens HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
September 22nd, 2014  
Fav. I just love the ocean so much, it feels like it can swallow you at times. This picture conveys that feeling well.
September 22nd, 2014  
Looks chilly - wonderful moody image, glad I'm not outside!
September 22nd, 2014  
@jess1204 Thanks very much, I like it as well and the sound today was something else...true power
@dibzgreasley It was a tad chilly this morning, I quite like a good storm
September 22nd, 2014  
Looks wonderful sounds horrible
September 22nd, 2014  
Wow, what a wonderful forceful weather event. Great shot and I love the wave clambering up the rock :)
September 22nd, 2014  
love that angry sea.
September 22nd, 2014  
Stormy and mysterious!
September 22nd, 2014  
I love stormy seas! Love the processing!
September 22nd, 2014  
Funny, there's alot of storm photos from kiwi 365ers today. Love the stormy sea.
September 22nd, 2014

September 22nd, 2014

Evening or more likely morning. I'm drawn to the sea hitting the rocks. Great shot.

September 22nd, 2014  
@annied @graemestevens did you say it in those words? I bet you did it politely....
September 22nd, 2014  
Wild sea, wonderful shot Graeme.
September 22nd, 2014  
Wild sea, did it bring on that wild mood? .?
September 22nd, 2014  
Very spectacular seas......Wild & windy.....rain too....great weather for a outdoors type looking for doom & gloom!
Spring will be back soon with the warm sun on your back!
September 22nd, 2014

@newbank @annied ...those were the actual words...I begin as I mean to finish
@tonygig Thanks very much ;)
@ceilidh It may have...why, are you getting tired of "normal" shots? ;)
@happypat It's a beautiful day today although how long will it last? And thanks very much :)
September 22nd, 2014  
the size of that wave is impressive !
September 22nd, 2014  
@cocobella Certainly is - it wasn't the biggest one either but because of the wind it was the only decent shot!
September 23rd, 2014  
Whoa!!! LOVE!! How Dark Shadows!! I am dating myself, but when I look at this photograph, I can hear the waves crashing and the mournful opener to this 1960's BW gothic soap! Loved it, love this . . . stunningly eerie!
September 23rd, 2014  
@lbluejaye8 Thank you very much - and today it's a beautiful day, calm seas...and I got my hair terribly messed up for this shot!
September 23rd, 2014  
@graemestevens Oh you wild man!
September 23rd, 2014  
@lbluejaye8 I know! Hear me roar! ;)
September 23rd, 2014
