| Marc Adamus "The Inside Out" |
“This image was made inside an enormous, intimidating sea tunnel as waves thundered up and down the chamber. Once I saw my opportunity, I’d run in after the receding water, shoot as fast as possible with 2 second exposures and run back out before the next big one came in. The echos and booms off the walls in this chamber, as long as a football field, made for a wild experience. You can tell something about the wave action in here by the fact the rock is wet 30ft off the ground! The mist in the air from all the water action created the diffusion at the opening you see, which I felt added to effect. The cave is located in Oregon and only accessible certain times of the year at the lowest possible tides.”
Honestly, compared to the previous image critique (Mountain Mountain), this one is downright boring. We might also add that Miles Morgan was one of the first turkeys to lustfully comment on this image. No doubt he was hoping that Marc would tell them where the cave was, so they could rush there, make an exact copy of Marc’s image, and then scurry to Flickr for “comments and critiques”!
Anyway, on to the Image Critique:
| Marc’s Comment | Our commentary |
| This image was made inside an enormous, intimidating sea tunnel. | Bullshit. This cave doesn’t look very big. |
| As waves thundered up and down the chamber. | Hey, why not just say 5 foot waves? You’ll find out soon, actually. |
| The echos and booms off the walls in this chamber, as long as a football field, made for a wild experience. | Marc just wanted to use the word “wild”. |
| You can tell something about the wave action in here by the fact the rock is wet 30ft off the ground! | And there we have it. What an adventurer! Went into a cave with 30 feet waves! Of course the waves are not that big. The cave is wet because of all the mist. Duh. |
| The mist in the air from all the water action created the diffusion at the opening you see, which I felt added to effect. | Marc neglected to mention that the mist also created the wetness on the walls. Much better to simply imply that this cave experiences 30 foot waves. |
| The cave is located in Oregon and only accessible certain times of the year at the lowest possible tides. | Of course it is. No doubt it is also accessible whenever you buy one of Marc’s Oregon Coast photo tours. |
