Reactor Core

[Majeed Badizadegan]

If I told you I involuntarily ice skated across frozen sand, plunged in near quick-sand-mud-goo, and took a wave to the waist all within a few minutes... you'd probably believe me because you've seen my posts before and read the accompanying stories.

This sea cave is one of my favorite spots to go and be scared like a little girl each time a wave rolls in.

Wow, what are your light sources here?

Sunset light through a sea cave and overhead ambient light.

Interesting, the color of light looks so different. I would expect the ambient light to be similar in color to the light coming through the opening. Really cool picture though.

No way I'm at the back of a cave while water is rushing in........... dude, you have 'nads!!

Killer photo, by the way.

Majeed, very nice, even if I do think you might be just a little crazy - and you are right, I do believe you. Hopefully you are not putting yourself in a situation that you couldn't get out of safely should the need arise.

When I saw this, I thought of my misspent youth climbing the rock cliffs in my favourite mountains to the west. When I first started roping myself to the rocky crags, I remember an older chap telling me "son, (I wasn't his son, but he talked to all the young guys like that) there are old climbers and bold climbers, but there are very few old, bold climbers". Let's hope this doesn't apply to coastal photographers.

Another cracking shot!

Reminds me a lot of a shot I made in Malta years ago only I didn't have that great sunset coming in. Great shot!

Beautiful! I think I've mentioned before how glad I am that you are willing and capable of doing this sort of thing. Otherwise I would never get to see it. Thank you.

Alright Majeed, I think it's time to hire an assistant to photograph/video your adventures! You could be the next show on nat geo!

Seriously, I'm going to have to pull out my thesaurus when I open your threads so I don't just replete the same thing over and over.

Incredible work, with a fascinating story. What more could we ask for?

You're crazy dude ... crazy good!!!! Great image. If you're getting overhead ambient light then it's probably not a cave but rather a tunnel or arch. If you weren't in Oregon, I'd go with you. Two broken cameras and bloody elbows are better than one. Add to my text everything JustJazzie stated also.

I was hoping to see a reactor core......

neat pic though sounds like fun.

So, how do you get out after the sun goes down? THAT sounds like a great story that definitely qualifies for some Bear Grylls survival techniques.
