It was a beautiful but very windy day, so I headed out to the coast to get some shots of the water.

This is a 20 second exposure using a circular polarizer and 10-stop ND filter. There were some big waves coming in, causing the misty effect to the water. Fortunately my tripod was up to the combined strength of the wind and the waves lapping around it, and managed to give me a pin-sharp result.

Two black and white images in a row... what is the world coming to!

Great composition, Nice contrasts of the posts against the sea and dramatic sky!

That misty effect is amazing. Thanks for sharing the story of your shots. It's like a magician sharing the secrets of his tricks! A definite privilege, thank you :)

The long exposure has given this the feeling of being out of a sci-fi film. Lovely.

You just put up as many b&w's as you like -- I don't think anyone here will complain! :)

Excellent shot. Thanks for the info regarding the polarizer and ND filter. I'm going to give this a shot soon. Thanks for the inspiration.

[Frank Hymus]

Interesting shot. The ambiguity of the depth of the post versus a possible reflection holds the interest.
