Incoming Tide at Two Rocks
international copyright law and may not be used without the written permission of Michael Willis.
I’d visualised an image like this for a long time, but until visiting Two Rocks had been unable to find a suitable location that had both calm waters and long, rocky ledge. As the tide slowly came in, I had plenty of time to compose the image and wait for a big enough wave.
Eventually, a wave poured over the rocks but after taking the photograph I felt something tangled around my foot and clinging to my skin. I glanced down thinking some seaweed must have washed into the channel, and got huge surprise to see an octopus wrapped around my foot holding on for dear life as the water rushed around us.
This is a limited edition print with a print run of 100.

While the prints available on this website only represent a tiny fraction of my work, I am continuously adding many more new and older images to a my 'Photographs by Date Gallery' at pbase.com. I create images on a daily basis, so if there is a date without a photograph, I most probably will have one but have yet to add it to the gallery. The majority of these images are open edition prints with prices starting at $90.
