For many, including myself, the sound of waves gently breaking on the shore is all the music you need.

Thanks for looking, good luck to all this week.

Very nice idea travis how about that the blk/wht conversion and the motion of the waves is neat
The wave sounds so relaxing make me sleep while fishing sometimes

The term music to my ears comes to mind. Like the B/W conversion.

Thanks Robert. I wanted to do something different this week from the expected. Thanks for the comments.

Yes, that saying comes to mind. Thanks for commenting, the conversion took me a while to get happy with it.

Cool take on the theme Travis! The soulful sounds of nature!

Thanks for taking the time Greg. Natures sounds are the best...I had missed the sounds of nature lately, vacation came at a great time this year.

Nice idea and great shot (as usual)!

Glad you got in here in time; you must be on vacation
Nice idea, and more movement (must be that racing background)...
Good luck this week,
Jerry

Nice shot Travis. It does take me back to a previous vacation in Playa del Carmen and the music of the waves there.

Travis - this is why I joined this site and try to test my skills in WA. If anybody looks for the creative ideas, here is your take on music Funny thing is that sound of waves on the beach is relatively loud but calms you down ... like your photo. Well done and thanks for the inspiration.

Nice one Travis, soothing when calm, nice shot.

Norm

I can hear it. Nice shot.

Hi Jerry, yeah, was not sure if I would get one in, but took this one thinking of the theme, and just had to get it processed in a way that I was happy with. I went through a few iterations not worthy of showing!

I like adding motion in sometimes, it takes a flat, 2D image and can really add that third dimension, and to me, can change an image entirely. I just don't want to make movement or slow shutter a crutch...or overuse it...

Thanks for taking the time and the nice comments.

Glad it can bring back good memories Alan. It will for me when I look on it in years. First family vacation with my daughter!

FM in general can be great inspiration, and exposure to new ideas and techniques. Glad my take on music is taken well.

Generally waves on the beach are a little loud, this week they have been very calm, very few white caps, and very calm seas. Storms coming in the next couple days, hoping for a little more rough water to shoot with at the piers.

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.

Thanks for stopping in Norm. Very soothing sounds indeed.

Glad it works for you, thanks.

Travis, living at the beach I can certainly relate to your entry. I am serenated by that sound every evening. It is, indeed, music to my ears.
