A short film by cinematographer Chris Bryan, who worked on BBC’s ‘Blue Planet II’, showing the mesmerising crash and surge of ocean waves in slow motion. Sez he:
I love filming in the ocean more than anything, its not just a job, its a passion. And sometimes its nice just to document waves without surfers riding them. The feeling of jumping off the rocks in the dark by myself just to capture the very first rays of light hitting the ocean without another sole in sight is unexplainable, its one of the most amazing feelings ever, its like my own personal therapy.
A short feature on how an undulating ‘ocean’ was created for Mark Smith’s stop motion animation The Two Balloons using an intricate, elegant network of strings, pushrods and plastic laminate layers.

Dutch cinematographer Armand Dijcks sez:
Over the past months I’ve been working with Australian photographer Ray Collins to bring his amazing oceanscapes to life in the form of cinemagraphs – a blend between photography and video. Each cinemagraph is created from one of Ray’s stills…

I took this photo over Christmas at Sandycove [Co Dublin] – showing a father and his son enjoying the huge waves. I thought they might like the photo, so might be worth sharing in the hopes of finding them?
Anyone?

Right in the path of tomorrow’s swell we have one of the longest running monitoring stations providing wave data, the Sevenstones Light Vessel.
For this it’s typical to calculate what’s called a 50 or 100-year return period. This is simply the size of the largest waves you could expect will definitely occur at least once in that timeframe.
For the Sevenstones Light Vessel, with our long historic record, we can do this with some accuracy. In fact, analysis as early as the 1970s had already identified these values in the 36-40ft range.
Tomorrow’s storm is currently forecast to peak at 37ft in deep water around Western Cornwall. If these values are confirmed by the wave buoy tomorrow then we are looking at an event near that 50 year return period range – that is to say ‘infrequent’ but not necessarily ‘unusual’.
Buzzkill.
How BIG will they be in Ireland anyone?
