Image title:

Seaham Storm Wave

What camera, lens and settings did

you use to capture this stunning shot?

Canon EOS 5D Mk II, Sigma 150-600mm

f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary, 313mm,

1/320sec, f6.3, ISO 640.

How did you decide on the composition?

The setting sun lighting up the top of the wave

and the lighthouse was important for the

visual impact of the image. It provides more

depth to the wave, and the colour draws the

eye to the focal point of the image.

What do you like most about the image?

I really like how the lighthouse, which is also

catching a few rays from the setting sun,

provides scale for the crashing wave. Although

unmanned, can you imagine how it must feel

to be in the lighthouse during a storm like this?

Did you do much post-processing?

I increased the clarity and sharpness, as well

as a small increase in the exposure level. The

cropped top of the wave isn’t intentional – I

was a little slow pressing the shutter and the

wave was slightly outside the frame.
