Waves rock Watching and shooting waves tumbling over shoreline rocks can be both relaxing and rewarding All images © Tom Ormerod
Living by the coast, I naturally spend a lot of time by the sea, and one of the best ways to capture the moment is by being able to portray the motion in the waves. I find capturing wave motion very therapeutic, as once I have a composition finalised, I find myself just sitting there waiting for the perfect wave.
Wave motion can be captured in a number of ways, such as wave trails when the water runs back down a beach, or long lenses on the crest of a wave, but I will cover my personal favourite type: using wide-angle lenses up close and personal with the rocks waiting for the waves to tumble over them.
