marc_dufour Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted August 5, 2006 Quelle coïncidence, Daniel ! Attiré par ton avatar yin-yang en mouvement, et ta photo depuis le kayak, j'étais justement en train de jeter un coup d'oeil sur les sites d'Abitibi-Tésmiscamingue ! Merci por tes aimables commentaires. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rubidium Posted August 5, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 5, 2006 Another nice shot, which inspires another comment that applies to this whole series. These scenes defy being limited to a single scale. While I know the approximate real-world dimensions of this particular scene given the knowledge that you used a 50mm lens, scenes of this kind occur in Nature at all scales. Given no other reference, the observer of a photograph of this kind could be equally convinced that the frame is centimeters across, or kilometers across, or anything in between.

marc_dufour Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted August 5, 2006 James, I absolutly agree with you. The fact is I wrote something similar, commenting another picture, times ago. I don't know a thing about the subject, but the Mandelbrot curves show us clearly that scale is something relative. Each world is a world in an other one, and contains other ones. The fine thing is to be conscious of it. Thanks for looking and interesting comment. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gverdon Posted August 5, 2006 Share #6 Posted August 5, 2006 Marc, not sure about the title, but no doubt about the shot: it speaks to me. Graphically exuberant. Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dufour Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted August 5, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Gérald ! Nice to meet you again ! Title only refers to the caress of the wave on the sand, a sight I never get bored. Thanks for looking and comment. Cheers, Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gverdon Posted August 5, 2006 Share #8 Posted August 5, 2006 Marc, I know about the play between wind, water and sand, but in this case, it looks more like a dispute (and that's beautiful). ;-) Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dufour Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share #9 Posted August 5, 2006 Gérald, In this winter afternoon, the wave went up wide and foaming, but move back slowly, as a caress. I had to wait until disappears all the foam, and when the water came back to the sea, in small streams, the sand went with it, collapsing gradually. It's like a sequence in slow motion, although the most spectaculars figures last only a few seconds. And the picture can finally evoke something more... epic, maybe :-) It's really exciting to stay there, watching carefully what happens, surveying a large extension of the beach and the little relief caused by the waves, try to guess where can happen this kind of effect, run until this point without treading the place you detected, prepare the camera... if it happens, it will be only during a moment. Until comes the next wave wich will destroy all these captivating figures. I love this moment. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
