velocity

It's amazing where a 130km per hour wind will insert sand on ones body. I can now reliably inform you all that I have been forcibly exfoliated both inside and out...take it from me, never bend over on a beach when the wind is that strong.
Best on black I suspect.

In terms of processing on this, for those interested - a crop, a conversion to black and white and a tweak on the clarity. I have grown more fond of the Olympus than I ever was of the Canon. Audible gasp.
I love that sky and those waves along the horizon - I hovered over the fav - not sure I ever want to relive the sand story - and may I add - that's what happens when you challenge the elements

i fear that was too much information.
Love the shot!
June 13th, 2018  
I don't know what to say about this... so I'll just press the golden buzzer!
June 13th, 2018  
Great image. I like that bit of light from the sky. Fav
June 13th, 2018  
Hope your camera was [rotect s I love these scenes. As for you .... pfffft
June 13th, 2018  
This is so beautiful. I wonder if I should by an Olympus...but I0m afraid it's the photographer that counts most. I have question. Is there ever a nice weather where you live?

All in a good cause, namely this shot, a particularly striking one with its dramatic lighting, fav
June 13th, 2018  
Lovely light . 🤐
June 13th, 2018  
Stunning photo and laughter, a winning combination:)
June 13th, 2018  
Suitably sinister :)
June 13th, 2018  
Both the photo and the caption - stunning.
June 13th, 2018  
HahahahHah.
Amazing clouds.
I did gasp, I'm a Canon user and I'm looking to upgrade it since it is an entry level one. I'm curious Why are u lking the Olympus much more?
June 13th, 2018  
You certainly suffer for the cause of a good photograph, but a good one you got. I'm amazed at how little processing you require to get such - all that contrast already in the scene? It is a beauty.

One must use better judgment when sunbathing on the beach.
June 13th, 2018  
Oh wow stunning glow on the water..................lov'n it on black!
June 13th, 2018  
Superb on black. I can say without a doubt that I've heard too much regarding what you did on the beach
June 13th, 2018  
.......................... or change your lens??
June 13th, 2018

June 13th, 2018

June 13th, 2018  
Very dramatic! Such a striking image.
June 13th, 2018

June 13th, 2018  
So dramatic fav
June 14th, 2018  
excellent!!!......ouch re your story....ugh!
June 14th, 2018  
Rather too much information methinks, but a jolly good shot old man. You do have a way with stormy shots.
June 14th, 2018  
Awesome. I went down to Waiwakaiho River mouth on the same day and almost got blown off my rock. I love what you have captured here. I didn't venture onto the sand. Would have been sandblasted for sure!
June 14th, 2018  
Sand has a wicked sense of humor!!!! Stunning! Fave!
June 14th, 2018  
130km an hour! And you didn't go kite surfing?
June 14th, 2018  
@4rky Good lord no - there's things in the water you know...
@joysabin I didn't think it was that funny...
@dkbarnett I came away well etched...
@golftragic Thank you kindly, it does soon to be my "thing"
@hrs Thanks - it's not that bad, now I'm smooth ;)
@Dawn Thank you very much :)
@domenicododaro Thank you kindly :)
@hiro Thank you very much :)
@pistache Thanks very much :)
@yaorenliu Thank you so much :)
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Didn't do that either...
@bill_fe Enjoy those mental images ;)
@radiogirl Thank you very much :)
@byrdlip Next time I shall wear a lead lined bikini...
@helenhall It was a fairly gloomy day...
@adi314 I had an entry level Canon, I've always fancied Olympus though - for the money you get a lot more, it's smaller and light and, to me anyway, the interface seems a lot more intuitive. And I think the results are better than what I was forcing out of the Canon.
@juliedduncan Thank you very much - I like to stun
@hermann Thank you kindly, not at all what I was aiming for but I'll take it and run
@fbailey Thank you kindly, I do try
@pusspup Thanks very much :)
@joannakate Thank you very much - if only I could get rid of all this sand...
@joansmor I shielded it from the worst of it and hope for the best...
@caterina There is nice weather here and quite often...but on those days I tend to stay indoors...
@rjb71 Thank you kindly - there wasn't much light around that day...
@vignouse Thank you kindly. Again.
@brigette I fear it was as well....what to do, what to do...
@annied I should know by now...
June 14th, 2018  
@graemestevens you should - but you love every minute of it ;)
June 14th, 2018  
dramatic!
June 17th, 2018  
@northy You should know by now that I'm a drama queen...
June 17th, 2018  
wow, this is awesome. Ok so I'm stalking people to see what camera they're using - Dx or Fx.. i'm considering my options of upgrading
