Photographer’s Note

Another photo from a series on big waves that came through at barrack point. What was different about these waves was how clean they were - you can see that on other postings. Here I liked the background of my place of work, think about those people stuck inside - while I had to make do in the outdoors! Barrack point is about 110km south of Sydney in the region called the Illawarra.

Hi Mark
A photo of interesting contrasts - well composed. Lucky you to not be stuck inside! TFS, Marlene

Hello Mark. Good looking capture with sharpness and exposure of the big waves. I like the splash against the misty horizon and yet maintaining sharpness of the silhouettes. Well done and thanks for sharing. Jusni

Hello Mark,

Daring attempt, taking a shot facing the sun. Very well captured, the water looks ferocious. Composition is very good with buildings in the distance, hazy.

Thanks for sharing

Hello Mark,

What a big wave, almost a risc to take this image, with these storm.
You make a panorama view we see the chimney in background
Composition is very good also with buildings in the distance.
Very well done.

Greetings from Belgium,
John.

I like the way the sun is glistening on the rocks and water, the force of the waves and also the steelworks and mountains in the background - all in all an interesting well composed photo (are they people standing on a breakwall as well?)TFS

Hi Mark, you've captured the wave slamming into those rocks very well. The contrast seen within the waves and between them and the rock is very excellent. I like too how we can see the stacks subtly in the background, through the haze. It seemed to me though that there was a bit of a problem with those stacks. With our focus on those I see a bit of a tilt. It's not a serious thing, (about 1 degree) but since we are drawn to the verticals it stands out. I've prepared a workshop looking at this, to provide you with another option.

Thanks, John

Mark, this is a WOW photo. You captured the details of the splash. And it's so sharp that makes the rock (or mud?) like a melting chocolate. Good job!

Hello Mark, I have been keeping an eye out for recent postings by you but no new for a while but I discover this one, I don't know how I missed it, it's a beauty, colour, composition, clarity & sharpness are super, if I hadn't read John's comments about the stacks I would not have noticed, they look great in the BG. By the way I must contact John I haven't hear from him since his return to his homeland.
Thanks
Take care
Santo

Hi Mark,
Very dramatic composition. The light is incredible here!
The colours emphasised dramatism of situation.
Best Regards and Happy New Year!
