Angry Seas

Kathy and I stopped on the Outer Banks, NC, on our way up the east coast recently. I was able to reserve a hotel room overlooking the beach (off-season helped, I’m sure). We had a great view of the “angry sea.” Winds were very high. Sand and sea foam were blowing everywhere and no one was venturing out on the beach. It was late in the afternoon and the sky was heavily overcast. I tried a 5 exposure hand-held series of shots with the intent to do an HDR image. This image is the result. The movement of the waves, when the images were combined, created an interesting effect. Note the two poles free-standing standing to the right of the pier. They were gone the next morning.
