How fast can you run???, a photo from Iraklion, Crete

Photographer's Note

Generally I like storms cause they can give me some really wonderful pictures to make my themes..The problem is that some times i am so "lost" in my thoughts and my "effort" for the best possible result that i overdo it..And here is a little example about it..

You have no time to do almost anything..Even thinking is difficult in moments like this..In this specific moment..Well..Let's say that I only had one thing in my mind..Or better a question..How fast could I run... %-/

This one is a part of a series I already posted about a storm in Iraklion..It was a difficult moment..And to be true I enjoyed is a lot..;-)

It's good we have the sea to wash our brains from time to time... ;)
Good part 3 of the storm series, the most dynamic of them all, full of power. The note adds humour to it.

Wonderful photo. I don't know why, but this photo remind me something...
It's a wonderful photo. If you kept taking photos like this, I really have to go Crete, to see live such beautiful scenes.

Γειά σου Νίκο

Όμορφη φωτογραφία, φωτογραφία δράσης θα μπορούσες να την πεις. Ωστόσο νιώθω να χάνομαι κάπως μέσα σ' αυτό το συννοθέλευμα του θαλασσινού νερού από το κύμα που έσκασε. Ίσως αν ήσουν πιο πίσω θα ήταν καλύτερα, αλλά ίσως έτσι δεν θα γινόσουν παρολίγον μούσκεμα όπως υποθέτω! :) Πάντως σε μια τέτοια περίπτωση θα με ένοιαζε μην γίνει μούσκεμα η μηχανή παρά εγώ! :)

Hi Nikos.
Great dynamic composition.
It's seems you shot before, and run fast after ...
Congratulations,
Corinne

Hola Nikos..!
I like the humor..but I like more that you share the moment with all of us...
To be in the middle of a storms is a part of our lifes, and like we said here (" torear a la suerte, ole!!)is just like: a bullfighter wich fight with the beast..and his good fortune beside...Good work, ole! bravo!!
have a wonderful weekend full of beatiful moments.
Beatriz.

Excellent action shot and a note full of humor. Perfect capture. Congratulations.

Very well done, this decisive instant caught with the very right shutter speed... The crop is sub-perfect (too bad the upper part of the wave is cut out!). I like the color of the sky and the texture of the foreground. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Nikos! This one made me laugh! :) I have been this close to many waves, but never with my camera in hand. I hope your camera survived!
Thanks for sharing!
