To smile or not to smile

Wanted to capture the drop reflections again. Was experimenting with how many smilies I can squeeze into the drop based on how far away the drop was from the background. This seemed optimal without cluttering up the drop too much. Wish I got this a bit more in focus.

Here's the levels corrected version based on all the comments.

DailyPhotos > popular all-time > Day 22 - Windy Day at Prospect Bay

Well, weatherman called for snow, then it turned to torrential rain, first with the deluges, then with near hurricane winds.  I didn't hear any hurricane warnings!!!  The wind gusts were hitting 80MPH or more last night.  The windows were bouncing and doors were shaking.  

So I expected more of the same today. Nope!  Remember that saying, don't like the weather wait 10 minutes.  Well, it was sunny and blue skies with 40mph winds.  I knew where I was headed!  Prospect Bay.

The bay is one of the farthest tips into the Atlantic Ocean and it sees a lot of wave action.  These waves are so unpredictable, I don't think surfers even bother with this area.  As you can see, this wave is viewed from upon a hilltop - the average spray heights today had to be in the 50 to 60 ft range when they smashed into the granite rocks.  I bet the town is grateful for those granite rocks, they act as a natural break water.

Notice the white rock how smooth it is.  This is the same type of rock formations found at Peggys Cove, which about 20 miles south from here.

The wind was so strong and bitterly cold - I could only take small exposures for roughly 15 minutes at a time.  I still feel the chill in my bones.   I had to hold the tripod with one hand, trying to keep my foot near one of the legs, and I left the camera strapped around my neck.  For a few moments, the wind was so strong, I had to turn around to breathe.   :) 

I had so many awesome shots today!  The sun was battling a massive snow storm over the Atlantic.  Half the sky was dark grey and dark blue, the other was all puffy white and powder blue.  When the Sun was over taken by the thick dark clouds, within moments the temp dropped roughly 10 or more degrees - you could actually feel the blast of cold air.  Next thing I know, ice pellets were stinging me in the face, and snow - the sky was full of snow.  Thick white puffy snow.  That lasted for about an hour, then it was all gone. The sun came out and showcased some awesome rays of light which cast spot lights on the rocks and lit up the ocean.  Pretty cool. 

I could have stayed there all day!  I ran out of space on the memory card and batteries died. :(
When it gets very cold I notice the camera starts to act a bit odd.  Oh well.. next time. I keep telling Barb we should get a house down there. :)

PS ... and Barb says NO WAY!!!   (signed Barb :).

This barn in the field is one of my favorite places to photograph.  There's also a pond and horses and ducks and a blue crane and a country road and...well, there's always something going on there...and it's on my way home.  I thought this photo looked a little eerie, so I have been saving it for today.  

I did combine two exposures on this with my newfound Photoshop skills...one exposure was for the wonderful sky and the other was exposed for the barn and field.

I would pat myself on the back but I can't quite reach...my daughter (who's birthday is today) tells me to get over myself.

Heh.  Nothing like a reality check.
