I endeavor to capture those moments the naked eye misses, breaking the mold of today's average wave shots. I do not use waterhousing which allows me to achieve the results you see here.

Just like a snake's tongue, this wave split into two forks before being reclaimed by the ocean. Photo: Deb Morris.
When you see the spray of a wave, it is usually a white washed blur, so to see it frozen allows you to appreciate how transparent it actually is. Photo: Deb Morris.

With a major lack of swell, I had to hunt to find even a ripple but this glassy little gem rolled through. It almost looks bashful! Photo: Deb Morris.
With prime conditions, the results lead to solid glass infused with the colors of a rainbow. Photo: Deb Morris.
This would be the third smallest wave I have captured that is approximately one inch in size Photo: Deb Morris.
This is one of my earlier works. The illusion of the reflection is amazing. Can you see the turtle looking at the seal? Photo: Deb Morris.

Looking through the face of a five centimeter wave. The reflection of the sun trickling through the wave resembles a snake's skin. Photo: Deb Morris.
The sun skimming the top of the water gave the illusion of molten silver with bubbles floating over the falls. Photo: Deb Morris.

I have found a whole new hidden world to investigate–that of the micro, or mini-wave. I endeavor to capture those moments the naked eye misses, breaking the mold of today’s average wave shots. 1,800 images are housed in my collection with each wave ranging from 5 centimeters to 30 centimeters. I do not use waterhousing which allows me to achieve the results you see here.
