Photographic Gems of Our Times From The Web Seascapes: Ocean Waves Photographed to Look Like Mountain Ranges

A different aesthetics than the previous posts. Photographer Ray Collins has a portfolio of wave shots frozen in time, captured to look like vast mountainous landscapes of solid rock and ice. Mr Collins, 33, has spent the last eight years taking pictures of the surf between Sydney and the Victorian boarder (although he also travelled to Hawaii, the South Pacific and Indonesia). What started as a hobby to fill time while he waited for a knee injury to heal has 'evolved' into a book and around 300 emails a day from organisations like National Geographic. Mr Collins is colour blind and originally worked as a coal miner.

Wow!
Thanks Jerome.
What a great series.
I'm ashamed to say, I was 't aware of Ray's work despite the fact that this IS my home patch.
Sydney to the Vic. Border is about 500-600 km's. I'm about 100 km from the border, on the coast.
This stuff is completely my cup of tea.
When I'm not working or doing family time, I'm in that ocean, catching waves, beneath the waves, spearing fish, capturing all those images in my mind.
Brilliant stuff. Inspirational for me.
