Humboldt Bay Entrance Waves

Leica Vario-APO-Elmarit-R 70-180 mm f2.8

At the entrance to Humboldt Bay, waves crash as high as the navigation tower on the north jetty. After winter storms, photos like this require a long telephoto and some safe distance!

Check out some aerial photos of Humboldt Bay -- this part of the entrance to the bay is shown in the close up crop of the north jetty.

Olympus E-330 with Leica 70-180mm f2.8 and APO 2X Extender, 1/800th sec, ISO 250, f-stop not recorded.

Across the entrance, waves pound the interlocking dolosse of the the south jetty breakwater.

On a calmer day, a sea tug still partially disappears below waves at the bay entrance.

 

After aerial shots of the Humboldt Bay entrance on the previous page, these photos give a better perspective from the ground and from the sailors and fisherman on the sea. Thankfully I was able to take these from a dry perspective with a long telephoto!
