Storm Rocks with Tidepools
A few weeks ago I posted a series of shots from a single tripod set up of stormy waves at different exposures. This views includes that same rock on the same day, but it is in many ways my favourite of the pictures that I took that day. I especially like th two little tide pools lower right which help draw the eye around the photograph, and which provide a textural contrast to everything else, but which do balance with the brighter reflection on the upper surface of the more distant rock.
This map shows the location of the bay where I took the shot from below the west end of Repulse Street on Harling Point. The view is to the west – the distant point would be near Race Rocks and the adjacent land in Metchosin on Vancouver Island.
Other posts from this same day, some in the same bay looking to the north, including close crops to fool the eye, and others around the corner to the east can be found at the links in this sentence. It was a pretty good hour or two of photography.
Canon 5D MkII, with Canon 50mm/f1.4 lens, ISO 100, f/22, 15 seconds, polarizing filter.

Hi Toad – what wonderful compliments. Thanks so much. It is a so naturally monochrome (or nearly) and I think that must add to the unreal feeling of the image. Cold feeling too. But then I was cold taking these images.

That’s a nice shot. The light’s great and so are the colors. I also like the hint of clear skies in the distance.
