شـب تاریک و بیم موج و گردابی چنین هایل
کـجا دانـند حال ما سبکـباران ساحـلها
The dark midnight, fearful waves, and the tempestuous whirlpool
How can he know of our state, while ports house his unladen ships.
- By Hafez

First it sounds crazy, but I tried panning with waves!
I took this shot just 12 minutes after this. But you can see a big difference in colors. Yes, it was the sunset
time, and each second was critical for not loosing the time!
I got completely wet while shooting these series. There were huge waves (about 5 to 6 meters high) and the wind gust speed was 106km/h!
There are some shots from me taken by my friends when I tried to shoot
this!
Check them too:

this is gorgeous. love to see creative ideas like this turn out so beautifully. fantastic sense of power and motion in the water...almost an odd combo with the soft gentle colors, but it all works well!
