Long exposure

Dee

After drooling over some recent photos posted by coscorrosa http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=118067 I decided to try some of my own. It was actually mild and not horribly windy so I was able to set up the tripod without freezing in "sunny California" for once. While certainly no match for coscorrosa, maybe some of you will enjoy my attempt. The light as quite different at the southern end of the beach, so I was switching my manual settings like crazy when I turned to take this northern view.



While not as colorful as some other photos I've taken in this area, I like the misty quality of the waves during the long exposure. Besides being unusually warm the waves were unusually quiet. We had a surfer directly in front of us and he did get several rides, but he also spent quite a bit of time waiting. I am so enjoying this warm weather. I know it won't last long.

Gorgeous, Dee! You have a way of looking at a familiar place in such a different way.

I also love seeing Dgrinners inspire each other. Looking forward to trying more long exposures by the water, too, after seeing Ron's work.

Nice one in color. I've never seen it done in color before.

Here's one I did in SF a few years back, Seal Rock. I did this on film, so no meta data, but I think this was upwards of 30 seconds. Not very much light that late afternoon, plus I think there is a large boat behind the rock.
