Since I first met the ocean when I was very small, I have belonged to it entirely. So today’s jaw-dropping photos and videos of the ocean showing off have absolutely captured me. I confess that though trips to the beach always inspire me to whip out my camera (or camera phone), it’s rare I consider waves as a subject. I may have to reconsider where I’m focusing my camera!
Believe it or not, the majority of this magnificent oceanic wave photography was captured by Collins using his iPhone XS. Someone commented on one of wave photographer Ray Collins’s photos “Pretty awesome to be in a time where the best camera sits in your back pocket.” She wasn’t wrong. What a world we live in.
You can follow the award-winning wave master Ray Collins on his website and on Instagram. You can also see Collins in action in the documentary Fish People, available on Netflix.

Hi Donna! Well, the storms of late have been a bit unnerving around here (Pennsylvania), but fortunately – knock on wood – no injuries to my Pups or me or friends nor damage to Haus. Whew!
You and yours take care out there as well. 🙂
Blessings & OhWhooop!

I don’t think I realized you were in Pennsylvania. We’ve had some crazy weather here in New York, too. Yesterday was particularly unpleasant, and we were driving through the worst of it. Hate that!

LOL. I thought that, too! I would be too afraid to risk it. We have had a long succession of allegedly waterproof phone cases, but you can never get a good photo without taking out the phone (which utterly defeats the purpose).

These photographs are completely breathtaking. I love the sense of movement – obviously – but also the handling of shape, visual texture, and especially the handling of light and shade. Every single image is a winner. I absolutely suck at taking photographs with my iphone and, since I can take pretty decent images with my DSLR, I always blame my interaction with the phone technology for my sub par images but evidently I have absolutely zero excuse for the quality because these phone photos are absolutely incredible.
