Winter Storm 2014

This is an image that I took last Saturday, the day of The Big Storm.

I could see the massive waves from my studio window and drove up to the headland for a close up look.

I was completely unprepared for the sheer size of the waves crashing into the cliffs, the wind was
really strong and the only way I could hold the camera steady was to lie down on a muddy
tussock and wait to take the shot.


In this photograph the wave got even bigger but it obscured the Bullrock and The Quies, the
two iconic features in the shot. If you look closely in the top left hand corner you can see 4 people sitting and 1 person standing on the top left corner of the image.This give you a 
perspective of how big the wave was at the time.
It was quite hairy up at the car park, the wind was so strong it pushed you along and
just climbing out of the car was an effort, I certainly wouldn't have wanted to be the
people in this photo!


I have this print now on my wall as a souvenir of that extraordinary day and have put
the image for sale on the website as two different sizes, as several people have wanted a
a copy for themselves.
Looking forward to Spring and calm sunny days............. Susie x

 

There is a slight cropping difference between the Large and XL image, the XL image only shows 4 people on the left hand side indtead of 5, this cropping allows the full impact of wave to be shown in our bigger format.

 

All prints are produced by Susie from start to finish as well as hand signed and named.

 

The pictures are printed using pigment dye light-fast inks and archival papers to get the best possible quality, depth and colour accuracy making the pictures of a very high standard which will not fade.
