Default And the wind howled!

I must admit that living on an island does have its benefits. Here are some shots I have taken at one of the beaches. It was a terrible day with the wind, an on shore wind which almost blew me off the beach! Hopefully these shots turned out ok!

The first shot I had to hide in the dune until the wind eased a little, the other three are all of the same wave, just at different times/angles - I must have looked like an idiot running around this wave haha

I've found that using a camera is good cover for looking and acting like an idiot.

Very much like your last photo - good abstract shot.

Ha! Thanks Chip! I shall remember that next time I am in a questionable pose trying to get 'that' shot! I do love the last shot too!

I know what it is like to try and shoot in the wind, Montana seems like the wind is always blowing. I like your wave shots, good job.
