Strong Wind and Wild Waves

Cheung Chau, Hong Kong view map

The slippery stones and the wild waves imposed difficulty taking this picture.
I hung 5 liters of sea water on my tripod in order to stabilise my camera.

The strong wind and the 30-second exposure painted the cloud movement beautifully.

...i think if Joe Cornish could see what you did with your inspiration of his work...he would become a little jealous ;)

What's a fabulous picture ! CM, as you loyal and superb fan, you make me very impressive. Comparing the first image you posted on Pbase with this latest series, you definitely improved a lot no matter from the shooting skills and composition of photos. you truly be a Master of Art. You inspire me to understand that effort is the ingredient of improvements. Someone satisfy their status quo; you look for breakthrough. Someone treat their life as usual; you make it bright and difference.
