Horizon in Blue
This is one of the first successful images I made using the techniques I have been using for my Horizons series. The abstractness of the water created by the motion of the waves coming ashore while keeping the horizon line sharp creates an interesting feeling and mood that changes according to the color scheme of the image. The series started as an abstract study of color and has developed into a full portfolio that stands on its own. The mood created by the motion and color combination is unlike anything I have I have done in the past.
Horizons, the portfolio, began as an abstract study of color and motion on the sea while on an anniversary trip in Kauai. As I captured the motion of the waves as they came ashore, I became very interested in the feeling that a still image of moving matter created. The reflected colors from the sky in the water added to the emotion of each image as well. With all of the motion going on, the real challenge for me in this series of images is to maintain a crisp horizon line. By maintaining a sharp horizon, a reference point is made that helps to keep each image real, kind of dreamlike, but still grounded in reality. It is a feeling that I have not been able to recreate any other way.
