Please note that this photo is wide format and does lose some impact in having to be forced into 640pixels. If you want a larger version, email me :) Some people have rather nice houses in rather nice locations. This is a shot of house on the shore of Llandudno, a small village just outside of Cape Town. Very exclusive. This was a little cove, when I first arrived I was on the far side but on seeing the long breaking waves I decided to come to this side. What a trek! I spent 20 minutes clambering over boulders holding my tripod and camera. At one point I made a leap over a rather ominous cleft between two rocks. It was good fun but next time I will take the path around the rocks I found out about later :-D
It was a few minutes before sunset, the sun setting to my left. The scene was actually quite lovely in colour, but I had B&W film in the camera and in any case I rather like how the house comes out in this shot in B&W. The line of rocks also works well in B&W. The shutter speed was probably more 1/90 than 1/60 but pSIG does not have a 1/90 option, odd. Hence the wave is a bit soft, the foam not so fine as in real life. I fired off quite a few shots as that wave was coming in, this came out best with the flying foam.
I have cropped the top quite a bit as it was only blank sky.
Lovely composition on this image - it certainly does look like an idyllic place to spend ones life. The spray looks great with your selected shutter speed.
