Most of my photography, at least the stuff I take seriously, is connected with the marine world. I realised many years ago the futility of trying to capture the immense power of the ocean in a still photograph. Of the hundreds of stills I have seen, I can recall only two that came even close to displaying the power of the sea. One was of a lighthouse being swept by a large wave, the other was taken from the bridge of the Battleship Graf Spee during a storm in the South Atlantic. So I suppose it is possible. Its the scale of the thing. A still foto of a storm on the open ocean looks like boating lake. Honest. A movie scene on the other hand can do it justice especially with sound, good sound that is.
