The roll of the ocean can change quickly. As I spent time on an expedition ship in Svalbard not only did I admire the scenery of Svalbard but also the motion of the ocean. Using a mixture of short and long exposures over twelve days I found an opportunity to photograph both the water as well as the scenery. This is the motion of the water in a little long exposure as the … [Read more...] about Roll of the Ocean

Lines in the Ocean
As the ocean passed by the M/S Stockholm in which I was traveling on off the coast of Svalbard I was able to admire the ocean towards the end of the day. After a while of watching I picked up my camera and used slight movement with the camera to capture the scene. This little bit of motion transforms the water into a more even flow versus the waves which we see with our visible … [Read more...] about Lines in the Ocean
Snow on the Shore
As the end of the day drew north of 80 degrees in Svalbard we based by an island with a relative flat profile. Using a slight movement of my camera in the direction of the shoreline as well as the movement of the boat I was able to transform the island into a little of a mystery. The motion eliminated through the camera anything which may have been distracting on the shoreline … [Read more...] about Snow on the Shore
Motion of a Wave
The motion of a wave is captured from onboard the M/S Stockholm in the waters of Svalbard. After the course of a twelve day trip I started to notice how the waves would come off the boat in which I was traveling upon. Using both the motion of the ship as well as small camera movement the water of the ocean blurs into the wave leading the viewer across the scene. … [Read more...] about Motion of a Wave
Waves and the Beach
The use of a dock helps provides different perspectives when photographing waves along the beach. When I was in a small village in the Faroe Islands I was able to take advantage of this dock or pier. Being elevated over the water let me photograph down, but also close to the water itself. The longer shutter speed caught some motion, but not too much so there are still the sharp … [Read more...] about Waves and the Beach
