For some it was a disaster, but for me here on the Isle of Wight it was a sight to behold.

4964 is out of this world: the contrast between the size of the wave and the everyday attitude or those watching it is extraordinary.

Thank you both.
It was quite an experience, the wind on the cliffs was fierce!
In less than 3 hours I rattled nearly 1000 photos.

Thanks Fons, I need more storms :D
Isle of Wight is quite far from home but I have a location ready for the next one, which is only 2 hours drive away.

Simone, these are special - thanks for sharing.  Glad that you got through the storm OK.  From the news others have not been so lucky.

Thank you Anthony, Peter and Armando.
No, no danger at any of the sites of the shoot.
I didn't get wet - almost. And it was just some water running off the floor, which got to the bottom on one of my trouser legs. The feet remained dry.
The camera got a little spray and a few drops, not a direct hit from a wave but dripping from above in my shelter.
Looking back at the images it seems incredible that I got away so lightly but at no point did I feel I was really risking a proper soak.

Impressive series.

I like you first picture showing ''the neddles'' , a famous landmark visible from mainland (Milford on sea).

I am not sure you could use an ombrella ! Better to keep some distance... :D

Using an umbrella would be foolish!
The best outcome would be a broken umbrella, the worst you taking off with it ...down the cliff...
I may post later tighter crops of the Needles, I am still going through my images.

great pictures and most probably more diffcult to take as I can imagine in my dry place
using an umbrella had saved you from investing in a drone
