Zanpa Misaki Okinawa (B&W)

I just bought a Nikon D7000 body as an early Christmas present to myself, I had the day off, a crazy strong northerly weather front was on top of us and I thought why not go grab some shots of waves smashing onto rocks and put my new weather proofed dslr through its paces. Zanpa Misaki (Cape Zanpa) is a very well known and notorious place in Okinawa, great for fishing, sightseeing, surfing and much more. it’s jagged cliffs and rocks are amazing to behold, however it has also claimed it’s fair share of lives. With huge swells ripping in from the north through deep seas, and slamming into the cliffs, rouge waves are a real danger here.

Here are a few shots I took today, was having a nightmare keeping sea spray off of my lens, while negotiating razor sharp rocks and gale force winds, and although the shots looked great in colour, I was in the mood for some black & white today…enjoy and feel free to comment.
