Stunning Photos of Waves by Nick Selway
These incredible pictures capture the stunning moment waves roll on to a tropical beach.
The breath-taking images show the split-second in which each one breaks and crashes on to the sand, and are the work of two keen photographers who wish to remind people just how beautiful Mother Nature can be.
Photographers Nick Selway, 28, and pal CJ Kale, 35, position themselves in the magnificent Hawaiian water – and then wait for the waves to crash into their heads.
Their only equipment are standard cameras – but a waterproof case means they do not need to sacrifice their cameras for their art.
Breaking waves: These are the amazing photos taken by daredevil photographers Nick Selway, 28, and pal CJ Kale, 35, in Hawaii

CJ, from Hawaii, said: ‘It’s such a beautiful island – all the different colours seemed to be replicated in the water while we were snapping away.
‘We spend most of our time in the water photographing, but to get these kinds of shows isn’t easy and it takes a lot of patience to get it right.
‘Fortunately it paid off this time and we managed to get an amazing set of images.’

An insight into the photography: A simple waterproof case allows the photographers to take these images.
The foggy sands closer to shore get tossed and turned in the foam, leading to a wide mix of colours in this shot.
The waves break over the sand just as the sun breaks over the hills on the beautiful islands.
The stillness of the sea is broken up by the force of the waves, lifted up by the moon’s gravity
Nick was born in Lake Stevens, Washington, and says he always had an appreciation for Nature and that his purpose in life is: ‘To capture Mother Nature’s beauty and light in the most unique way possible.’
CJ Kale is no stranger to the area, raised in Hawaii on the Waianae coast.
He spent his days in the surf and outdoors exploring the beauty of nature and learned early on that he had a love for the outdoors and a passion for photography.
The pair also love photographing active volcanoes, and often risk their lives for that perfect shot.
