Good to hear the charitable affairs are going well.

A different style of photographing a scene like this than most other photographers, though what else to expect of course

Captures the scene well and the action happening, though I’d have to admit not really one of my favourites. Nonetheless, nice shot.

Nice capture. Trey, did you think about coming closer to the waves? It looks like if you made a few hops on those rocks, you could have gotten to that huge rock at center! Then you could have captured some splashing waves, kind of like this and this!

Thanks, Trey.
This is helpful for my own attempts. It’s all good to know and to try – but to see it done is a lot better More motivating, too!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey, I recognize that spot! I’ve shot this rock a few times myself. Very nice, Trey. And how cool to see my other favorite photographer, Patrick Smith, commenting!

Looks good to me too, especially since I know exactly where this is! Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks all!

Brad – yes this was 5 exposures — and yes Facebook User – you might know from my tutorial that I often mask in part of an original Raw

Hi!
question to the technique: Obviously a multiple shot would have given different water situations. So is it a multiple with a lot of de-gosting or just from a single RAW?

This is really awesome, different from your usual style. Love it though! Is this multiple exposures? Have a great Thanksgiving!

I love the rocks and water together. The colors are fantastic. Most of all I love the action of the scene.

What a beautiful scene, Trey!!! I agree with all of the above. This goes in my favorites pile!!! I love all rock formations, big and small. And the surf crashing into the rocks is a bonus!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

Beautiful!
I like the combination of colors and the dynamic element of the crashing wave in the setting.

Looking at the photo….it become a fantasy imagination if only with a mermaid lying on the rock..
