"Ocean Clouds" "How foolish to believe we are more powerful than the sea or sky" ~ Ruta Sepetys "Ocean Clouds" was shot early morning on Turrimetta Beach, Narrabeen. Shooting with a very long exposure and neutral density filters the end result creates the effect of clouds and mountain ranges. On opening the image on the computer back in the studio it looked like clouds wrapping around mountain tops. On first glance it was an optical illusion. Trees appear to reach above the clouds, the sun rising in the distance. The image is a rock shelf covered in barnacles, with the falling tide washing over & around the formations. The calmness of the ocean brings calmness to the viewer, despite the amount of water washing around and the time it has taken to capture the image. The more you look into the image the more if revealed and the viewer taken on the journey of discovery.
