MONOMAD - The Beach is a Space for Life

9 days ago

Hello Everyone.
I haven't visited this beach for almost four months. Actually, this beach is not that far from where I live. Today I decided to walk to the beach and I thought this was my way to find productive ideas so that I wouldn't be so bored at work. I need to do something related to nature to make it easier for me to rekindle my imagination. I took the initiative to play on the beach and I hoped to meet fishermen, but unfortunately today there were no fishermen active in the sea.

A few miles offshore, I saw two tankers docked. I assumed they were carrying oil, as there was an oil refinery nearby that had been operating since 1974. The refinery was called Arun NGL.

A view of an LNG tanker stopped a few miles offshore. The ship is specifically designed to transport large quantities of liquefied natural gas (LNG), and the tanker is crossing the ocean.

I didn't expect the waves to be so high this afternoon, which would undoubtedly make it difficult for the fishermen to catch fish. Several wooden boats were parked on the beach.

Something unpleasant struck me when I arrived at the beach. It was deserted, and I even saw trash that could disrupt the marine ecosystem. I was deeply concerned and disagreed with the practice of littering, as it is highly detrimental to the marine environment.

Hunting for Wave Splashes

I also felt the strong winds at sea this afternoon, so the high waves were certainly fitting. Although my expectations weren't met, I wasn't discouraged because I got an amazing subject as the large waves crashed against the rocks on the shore.

The stronger the wind, the higher the waves. I was impressed by the waves, so I decided to capture the moment. Some of my shots were off because I forgot to adjust the lens' shutter speed. I tried to focus on the subject and set the lens' shutter speed to 1/500 s. The splashes of seawater were clearly visible, so I checked the results. This moment was very interesting for me because I rarely get maximum results. Here are my shots from this afternoon.
