Making pages is what Dan, my son, does for work. Here are a couple links to
his work.

Here is another one, but all the pics he took with a Canon G2 which the
college supplied for his making the page. I think there is more pictures if
you click on "about" .

I never know what to do with cropping afterwards, as I'm one of those people
who always tries to cram too much into a photo. Often I look for something
to put in the foreground as a point of reference, but it doesn't always
work.
On the one with the waves, I thought of trying some on a tripod, to blur the
waves with a slower shutter, but the wind was blowing way too hard for the
tripod to stand up (need a better tripod too, but Santa messed up again).
Besides, I was having real trouble trying to avoid too much salt spray. I
did shoot a whole series that day though. That much wind and that high a
tide is quite unusual for that spot. The tides likely vary maybe 30 feet in
that spot, and the high tide and best shooting lasted only about 30 minutes.
I remember now I was using the OM1n that day, because I remember giving it a
good wipe down to get any salt off afterwards. Remember never to buy a used
OM1n from me :-). Actually, I protected it pretty carefully.
