DICHOTOMY (2015) < Previous | Next >

An ode to the vagaries of nature, at one instant so tranquil, serene, calm, beautiful and the very next, a raging tempest bent on destruction. This image is that of (the now removed) Frisco Pier along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore on North Carolina’s Outerbanks Islands. The pier was damaged by Hurricane Isabell in 2003 followed by Hurricane Earl dealing it the final death blow in 2010. While I have managed to captured Nature’s beauty in several of my images, only a few relay the dichotomous “Beauty and the Beast” characters of Nature in a single shot - this is one of them.

Technical specs - Captured using a Nikon D750 with a 16-35mm lens at 16mm/f16/ISO 200/5 second exposure to smooth the ocean water out.
