Not only did Joe Keniry take first place in Grade B in our ‘Weather’ competition held on 7/2/17, his image was the highest scoring image across all grades, a fantastic feat. This is how he made it:

This photo was taken on the 26th October 2015 at Youghal front strand.

It was a very stormy day and high tides were predicted. As I wasn’t that busy, I took the afternoon off and went to Youghal. There was a gathering of about 20 people viewing the large waves crashing over the wall. I was taking a few shots from a distance when I noticed a young boy dodging the sea spray. I felt there was a shot there so I stayed with him and then, luckily for me but not for him, he got caught under a huge wave breaking over the wall. So I thank him for that perfect shot on that not so perfect day!

I used my Nikon D7000, 50 mm lens, 1/250 sec, F/9, ISO  400.

Well done Joe!
