There is not much that triggers me more than a proper blizzard. And this one was furious! We were on our Secrets of Arctic tour and found ourselves down on the rocks at Tungeneset at Senja. Most of our group was seeking refuge in the van while i decided to have a go at the raging waves. I wanted to capture something that would give a sense of the raging feeling i felt while standing there. As often is the case while shooting seascapes, the chosen shutterspeed will make all the difference. I tried out all kinds of shutterspeeds, but i ended up using a 0,6 sec exposure. This gave a sense of motion, yet not too blurred to pass on a feeling of that angry ocean.
Compositionally its all about repeating diagonal lines and an anchoring triangle in the bottom. I felt it was a composition that really worked quite well. My camera did not like this at all. Constant splashes of salty spray kept hitting my gear, its a recipe for disaster, but miraculously everything survived.
Post-processing was minimal. Just whitebalance adjustment and curves.
