@Winston Churchill (Sir) How to be out in "it" and not be too miserably uncomfortable— nice! The action in these shots is incredible. If I had not seen your shutter speed, I would have guessed 1/125 as they imply so much motion and action as opposed to frozen in time. That water had to be really moving. Love looking at every shot, thanks for sharing.

Truly awesome images. The dark green of the water seems to magnify the power of the waves. (And I thought some of the waves in Lake Michigan were awesome!) Very nice!

Thank you Dan. And powerful they were. Today - not even a swell in the harbour

Thank you Jer. I am not the greatest of "landscape/seascape photographers - but I am hoping to start doing more of the seascape type of stuff soon. I now wonder what 1/125 would have looked like! You are making me think.

We had horrific flooding and rather bad storms, spring tide and wind in Cape Town this past weekend. I managed to get a good spot to watch the waves break at the lighthouse - but I needed to "see"over the hedge. Hence the vehicle - My vehicle has a roof top conversion (not a rooftop tent) where I would sit looking out the back - out of the rain, unobstructed view - and shoot for several hours.

I kept the 200-500 as a back up for the awaited 180-600. I will not sell it on
