Vancouver was somewhat reminiscent of Los Angeles today, with a quite heavy haze that promised a good sunset. As it was high tide, I figured a second trip over to Whytecliff Park might result in some interesting shots of the rocky path to Whyte Islet, which is partially submerged when the water level is high.
I tried some very long exposures with my 10-stop filter, but in the end this shot seemed the most promising, taken with a 3-stop graduated ND filter and circular polariser. The shutter speed wasn't long enough to turn the water into mist, but was enough to convey the movement of the waves.
i love that little islet and the trees sticking up... kind of like a tiny planet unto itself :) such a gorgeous shot with that leading line and evening sky
Great PoV with the wide angle lens. I love those spacious and ample foregrounds that focal length can provide. I like the exposure. Water smoothed out just enough without looking over-worked. The graduated filter works so wonderfully rather than post editing it in later. At least for my editing efforts.
