Another Installment of Wild Shapes in Chasm Gorp

[AlanLichty]

Another shot of some of the crazy shapes I managed to capture in the frothing foam in Cook Chasm with high swells. Captured at 1/2000s shooting 30 frames per second.

C&C always welcome.

This could very well be a close up shot of a cup of cappuccino.

Thanks Jameel - fortunately the foam in the cappuccinos I make tastes a lot better than this stuff would

Nicely captured detail in motion, Alan, it looks like spilled cream.. but it doesn't taste good.

Thanks Peter - it's pretty crazy stuff when captured at high shutter speeds. I have stood alongside this chasm and watched the churning waters many times and have never really spotted the details my camera revealed. Yeah - it would likely taste quite nasty to be honest.

To me it looks like the foam is dancing! This is really cool Alan.

Thanks Jim - high shutter speeds bring out some really interesting details in the foamy surf we rarely get to see with our naked eyes.

Thanks Jordan - I like your description of this scene. Now I can't unsee the exploding marshmallow

Amazing abstract - I see an ice avalanche in the Karakoram Range.
