- Huge waves make for great photos. I went to the Washington and Oregon Coasts trying to capture a few images, and got lucky enough to catch great light as well!

dude the shot with the birds so awesome
I agree, ans was just getting ready to post a similar comment, until I saw yours!
Exactly what I was going yo say
Michael Vettas can't agree more!
confirmed
After watching hundred of hours of UA-cam video, this is the first time I have felt compelled to write a comment. I can't stress enough what a dangerous environment you were in at the last location of your video. This last Saturday I was shooting sunset pics at exactly the same type of location in my hometown of San Diego, at a area called Sunset Cliffs. There was a group of people near the water's edge, on the other side of a channel from me. They were enjoying the sunset and watching the enormous waves, like many do this time of the year when the surf gets big. I was packing up my gear when I heard screaming. I looked over and saw a rogue wave slam into the rock face and flow over the top. The people who where standing there were now trying desperately to out run the rushing water. Two young women were upended and swept into the channel, the water carrying them into the crashing waves. By the grace of God, a large wave brought one of the woman back to shore where she was close enough for a man to pull her to safety. Unfortunately, the other woman not as lucky. We watched helplessly as she struggled to stay afloat. She cried for help just before a large wave took her under. When she resurfaced she was floating face down motionless. We tried in vain to reach her but there just no way to get to her without putting our own lives in jeopardy. After another wave took her under, we didn't see her again. About forty-five minutes later the sea brought her back to shore. Lifeguards jumped in and pulled her body out of the water. If your're not familiar with the ocean, stay far back. Even if you are familiar with the ocean, stay back. If your are standing in an area where the ground is wet...you're way to close. If the there are warning signs... OBEY THEM!!! Those signs where put up because people lost their lives. If you fall into the ocean during heavy seas, there is little to no chance you'll survive. The West Coastline is a wonderful and beautiful place but it also can be very dangerous place.
+Phil Ruiz I completely agree and totally understand where you're coming from what a terrible thing to witness. Quite a few people have died where I was shooting. But it always happens on the opposite side from where I was shooting on the slick rock surface where the waves roll over. It happens too overconfident young people that are naive about the potential for disaster there. Luckily I'm very very cautious and always error on the side of safety rather than bravery
That's a sad and terrifying story. Poor girl.
Yeah when I saw you shooting at that last spot I was thinking to myself if you were aware that there have been quite a few deaths at that very spot you were shooting at! But yeah last week I wouldn't doubt there were quite a few deaths along the pacific coast like Phil mentioned happened in San Diego due to the extra large surf last week. Even where I live in Monterey Bay we had the biggest waves ever recorded over 30 ft and that's out in the bay before they even hit shore! Needless to say at least 2 people also lost there lives here when they got swept out by waves here! www.montereyherald.com/general-news/20170125/weekend-victim-body-pulled-from-pebble-beach-surf?source=most_viewed
The difference between myself going down there, and many many of the other people that do go down there routinely, is that I am going in fully aware of what the sea is capable of doing there, and I am watching out for it non stop. I am about 1 of 50 people that visit that same spot every day, and I am most likely one of the most cautious ones. That place until about 2 years ago was public access. The site didn't change, the liability of letting people go down there did. I am not sure if your trying to look out for me, or just lecture me, would like to think the former, but I assure you I dont have a death wish.
Nick,Ilive on the Forth estuary North sea Scotland and we have some amazing winter-spring tides and i totally agree with you,understanding the tides,the waves,the weather is an integral part of keeping yourself safe in these sometimes demanding situations which make it all the more fun,great vid,great shots, all the best.
Very Cool video!!! I am an aspiring ocean, wave photographer even though I live in Texas and just purchased my first mirrorless camera at the youthful age of 62. Keep up the good work!
OMG! 12:43min. ... the birds, the light, the reflections.... haven't been so amazed with a photo for a long time! Excellent work Nick!
These are inspiring - make we want to do my next vlog on waves!
Great video. Am I the only person who sees the diving footage from outside the car and just imagines them parking, placing the camera, turning around, driving by, turning around, picking up the camera, turning around, and finally continuing on? haha
Those two pictures with the seagulls are just amazing.
That huge wave crash with the birds is my favorite,almost sculptural and the one where the waves come down in what looks like a shell shape, amazing
The third shot and the last one, both with birds, will definitely grace your portfolio.
Oh. My. Gosh!! Gorgeous, gorgeous, powerful photographs!
I am coming to Oregon so happy to see your videos to inspire me and teach me!
Great picture of the lighthouse and weave , thanks for sharing 🙏👍❤️😊🎥
Outrageous waves with the birds shots!
Some incredible shots in there. Wow!
Those wave shots with the birds are mind-blowing " best I've seen yet, I love your work awesome thumbed, and subbed !!
Your photos are unreal and the videos are awesome!
What a breath of fresh air this video is! I'm so bored with endless long exposures and smooth water shots, this is what the sea is all about. Fantastic shots that express the power and beauty of the water. Love it!!
Awesome video Nick.Particularly like the back lit images and the ones with the gulls.
wow! great! the wave with the birds is epic! i have to go out shooting right now, so pumped
Beautiful! This is exactly the art that sends chills down my back. I have already watched this a few times. The huge waves surges in contrast to the birds is surreal. Thank you for the tips... very much appreciated as a newer ocean and nature photographer.
WOW! Nick, not only are your shots amazing, but the production value of your videos is excellent as well. Thanks for putting so much into your posts. Cheers!
i just love your wave shots....amazing
I just love your way to shot, your style of photography and your vlogs. Greetings from switzerland😉
The 2nd shot with the birds is award winning, excellent image!
I love your enthusiasm when you see your shot! Makes you that much more real! Thanks for sharing!
Some awesome shots right there nick,,, lovely to see you talking your son with you too, keep up the good work my friend, Thanks, Bob 😎
first thing I noticed about this video.... incredible tripod..... really right stuff! Would love the 24 myself. The acratech head looks nice too
Whilst relatively new to the you tube work of photography in terms of 6-12 months, I’ve seen many epic shots of all sorts of composures. This is one of THE MOST epic and dramatic, emotive shots. I’ve ever seen. Can’t stop looking at it. Beyond stunning and motivates me to become better everyone I go out. Thanks Nick.
i think it's great that photographers share
it inspires me to get out there
your shots are awesome
and be careful out there
The River hand held images were fantastic ! Thanks ;)
Those pictures around the 9:00 mark where completely awesome! Very nice video.
Great work dude. I am loving the surf shots
Hi Nick, i'm a first time viewer of your channel. Love the shots with the gulls in, the light makes it.
amazing photo, the light, the birds... just great great stuff
Nick, awesome video and images! What an amazing place to shoot.
Well done man , passion it's what you express.
I am 3 hours from the ocean and 4 hours from the mountains. Thunderstorms and Nor'easters are my passion. Love your video's !!!
Excellent shots Nick, great work.
Incredible photos, very nice Nick. A greetings from Spain.
great episode. beautiful pictures. must have been a blast taking them.
I won't bag on you for the danger part. You've gotten enough of that. Absolutely stunning images. There is art in the danger. Well well done, sir. I was there a month ago with no big wave advisory. sad.
thanks Jeff, yeah I am always aware of the danger, and to be honest its kinda part of the excitement, but I am always on the cautious side and try to error on the side of being safe
Fantastic shots, great video and the music wow! Congrats!
Stunningly beautiful images.

One of these days I'm going to have to plan a photography trip down to the US
Love the photo of birds with the wave. Amazing.
Awesome video with excellent photographs! Never thought about shooting waves, but now that's definitely on my bucket list!
All I can say is WOW!!!
Amazing shots btw. Especially the waves with the birds. Always thought birds could be distraction due to the shutter speed for waves but learned something new here. Thanks for sharing
Great shots Nick. Your perseverance paid off. Love the video, very well done.
Great shots Nick, I love the big wave with the guls flying infront of it.Well done.
Spectacular shots at the end, Nick. Your vids from the field keep getting better and better.
Not sure where all you're planing on going on your "Ultimate Oregon Coast Tour & Workshop" but....when the waves are big... Shore Acres State Park (south of Coos Bay) is freaking awesome! Missed the Christmas light show one year but the storms they were a brew'n and the waves they were a crash'n!
Nice Peter Iredale shot by the way.
+PB Salfen the Oregon coast tour is in November I try to put it during a time of year when we have a chance at both dramatic Skies and some interesting surf. This year we were lucky enough to get 19 - 22 foot swells at Shore Acres and we all got some really nice Shore acre crash shots
Wow incredible shots. Great video too
Great shots Nick beautiful light kissing the tops of the waves. Nice strong detail in the lower part of the wave giving a powerful feel to each image. Thanks Chris.
Just awesome! Very inspiring! Greetings from Germany
Just found your channel and subscribed...AWESOME wave pictures!
Another great video Nick. I've been a frequent visitor to exposed rocky shores for more than 50 years and you've nailed it with advice about waves. People get caught (or worse) when they don't understand the natural cycles of waves and tides. I love the backlit shots with the birds!
this is epic sick..love this shot with the birds.
Will be on the coast for two weeks starting next weekend, hoping for some nice conditions. This is awesome.
Great as always nick Great photos
Wow, these shots are amazing. Looks like a fun adventure!
Great work Nick! I live in Portland and get a lot of great location ideas watching your videos ;). I Visited the cape for the first time about a month ago without realizing it was a sunrise location. Excited to get back for a proper sunrise after watching this!
Absolutely remarkable work Nick,, I love the pacific ocean. Does it happen in winter only?
This is Very Good and inspiring! BRAVO!
Loving your work Nick, keep them coming.
The images from this shoot are absolutely incredible Nick! The waves and the light are amazing.
amazing pics of those waves!
excellent work, love those scenery , not good surfing here in CO
beautiful results with the photos. Definitely provided me with some inspiration.
Love this location. Great shots Nick!
Fantastic shots! Well done.👍
I love all of your work....this is my favorite.
OMG, awsom great photos!!!
Dayum you got some killer shots man!
Great work with the waves. I'm a surf photographer/surf instructor in California and I definitely approve of your work.
I love your channel because you go to great locations and explain every single moment. I'm heading up to Oregon next week to do some landscape/wildlife photography. Can't wait!!
Nice! where you going to go? thanks for the kind words!
I'm taking a road trip so my 1st stop is San Francisco to do the cliche Golden Gate Bridge shot. Then to Klamath Basin to take some shots of some Bald Eagles. I have tons of places on my phone that I still need to map out and connect the dots from Mount Rainer, Cape Blanco Lighthouse, Multnomah Falls, Wahkeena Falls, Three Arch Rocks, Cannon Beach, The Blue Pool, Bandon. I'm going to be all over the place. I'm hoping for some nice weather. (fingers crossed) I'm super excited.
Canon beach is way way over rated.. you should look into heceta head, cape perpetua, cape kiwanda, and yaquina head instead! Bandon is epic, and while your by the blue pool go to proxie falls! all of which is awesome.
Ok I'll nix Cannon. I have Proxy Falls on the list and thanks so much for the other recommendations. It looks like more rain is in the forecast so I'll hold off the trip for a bit. Thanks again!
Very well done! The shot with the birds is phenomenal!
Simply awesome Nick! Love the wave shot with the gulls!
