When I attempted to capture the ocean’s breathtaking waves, it was like trying to catch the essence of water itself. This marked my first experiment in photographing the perfect wave, and it turned out to be quite the adventure.
Standing there with my camera, waiting for those waves to crash, I had an “aha” moment – these waves I was seeing weren’t as big as I’d hoped. I also realized that my and my camera’s lens wasn’t the right fit for capturing the close-up shots I had in mind.
But even though those waves weren’t massive, the ocean’s power was obvious. It called me to come closer, but I admit, I felt a little nervous about wading in too deep. Its strength is both thrilling and a bit intimidating.
Despite not having the perfect gear, I embraced the experience. Nature doesn’t follow rules; its beauty varies depending on who’s looking. Each photo aims to capture that beauty, but there’s more to it than meets the eye.
I’m still working towards capturing that dream wave, frozen perfectly in a photo. For now, I’m proud of the moments I caught. Each one is a reminder of my journey, leading me closer to understanding the beauty of nature.
Sharing this, I hope you also sense the beauty I found among those waves.
