HE ASKED FOR IT

One of these days, I wanted to take some rough sea shots from a different angle. So I went down to the rocky beach and was taking shots while looking around for some nice angle. In the distance I saw these two – probably tourists – taking shots of the rough sea. I approached them and when I got within 50 to 100 metres I stopped and waited for the right time to take a shot. And this is the best of them. By the way, I don’t thing the guy got very wet for the effort.
Thank you very much for looking and for your lovely comments on yesterday's picture.

Hope they didn't get salt water in their cameras. Great idea to shoot these photographers and get their silhouettes against the crashing waves.

[Dione Giorgio]

@carwyn3 Thanks, Mervyn. Probably from the pants down.

[Gena Pegg]

WOW...cool shot!!! Looks a bit dangerous though.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Wow that sea really looks choppy! Glad to hear they didn't get too wet. No one wants to see a camera die an early death due to water damage! Great shot!!

[Tony]

Fabulous shot, the splash, the man and the light just perfect.

[Dione Giorgio]

@eyesmile @olivetreeann @tonydebont Thank you very much.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

This is very appealing - there's something of the King Canute about that man trying to take a photo, like he too is trying to control the waves as Canute was reputed to have attempted.
