Ocean Blue

Its easy to take things for granted! Thanks to you and this sight my eyes and heart are kept open!
Believe it or not, before I started 365, I would get so caught up in work and filling my days with errands that I would let the whole year go by with just a few visits to our coastline! It blows me away how many gorgeous sunsets I've missed and beautiful views over the Pacific! That's not even mentioning the little things! Thank you 365!

I went out today to try my hand at my "push" challenge, street photography! Its not so easy to come up with an interesting shot! I'll post today's shot later tonight but I'm not giving up, @northy !
Perfection, Jerry. FAVed!

This is simply stunning!
August 21st, 2012  
@bdb3471 No, This was just after sunset. All I have a ND4 which is kinda useless. Too light for daytime and too dark for sunset shots! I need to step up to a 10!
August 21st, 2012  
Great shot Jerry, looks so mystic. Fav.

Beautiful shot Jerry! The water has that mysterious feel :)
Are you an action, sci- fi kinda guy? I'm waiting for something to jump out of that water! Lol!
August 21st, 2012  
So pretty and such lovely soft water. Nicely done.
August 21st, 2012  
Magical. Fav.
August 21st, 2012  
this is lovely! there is something about the light that is truly magical... and who can resist long exposure water shots... all that wonderful silkiness! (but yeah.. still looking for the street grit ;p)
August 21st, 2012  
OMG it looks lit from below. FAV FAV FAV
August 21st, 2012  
Awesome Jerry fav
August 21st, 2012  
Nice one Jerry! Fav!
August 21st, 2012  
beautiful!
August 21st, 2012  
Very nice. I live just north of you, but a little too far from the ocean to make it a daily occurrence.
August 21st, 2012  
the crashing waves looks like clouds, as always wonderful composition and processing Jerry
August 21st, 2012  
Fantastic long exposure! Isn't it amazing how 365 opens ones eyes and we see things we probably wouldn't have noticed before. I look at things from a totally different aspect now!
August 21st, 2012  
fav
this is terrific
it is so nice to hear someone being thankful for what they have instead of upset by what they do not have.
August 21st, 2012  
Gorgeous smokiness to that water. Fab long exposure shot and I agree, 365 really opens your eyes! Btw, I think your challenge for @northy is soooo difficult but I'm sure she'll step up to the challenge and get pushed :o) xx
August 21st, 2012  
@psychographer I thought of you, Lisa! You make it look so easy!
August 21st, 2012  
Gorgeous Jerry! Definite fav!
August 21st, 2012  
this is amazing, lovely processing and colours - and it's interesting I find street shots relatively easy, but am so far from the sea I can't remember when I last went. 365 kept me sane around some very busy times last year because it forced me out to find a shot and open my mind too
August 21st, 2012  
OMG. How have you got this amazing effect with the water, or was it just the 10sec exposure that did it, because mine never come out like this! It is almost ghost like!
August 21st, 2012  
Stunning shot, Jerry! The water looks magical. Fantastic colors and textures, and I love your composition. FAV'ed!
August 21st, 2012  
lovely shot
August 21st, 2012  
Brillant Shot Jerry!! So much Beauty in our lives ....this is captured so wonderfully! love it and a def fav!
August 21st, 2012  
Awesome shot. Very well composed. How long was the exposure?
August 21st, 2012  
Such a delicious shot... I hear you and understand ;)
August 21st, 2012  
Very mystical shot Jerry. Love it.
August 21st, 2012  
Wonderful mystical shot
August 21st, 2012  
Magical shot! Fav
August 21st, 2012  
hooley dooley....what a shot!!! this is as Amelie said....magical! Fave of course. I too believe i see everything around me in a totally different light since starting this project, and feel i want everyone else to know what they are missing, lol!!
August 21st, 2012  
what a beautiful shot Jerry, yes, I thank 365 for getting me out of work early and to places I would never have thought of going! fav!
August 21st, 2012  
Stunning shot Jerry. Love the softness of the water against the rugged coast line! I'm not great at finding time at the moment, that's why it's mostly sunrises and sunsets - but I'm trying, and think I'm getting better at making time for myself and 365!
August 21st, 2012  
Oh, and fav!
August 21st, 2012  
There's a lovely dreaminess to this that I find mezmerising! Fave
August 21st, 2012  
Beautiful. Love the blue water.

top ten here you come! :D fantastic shot jerry... like always! ;)
August 21st, 2012  
Magical. FAV
August 21st, 2012  
Wonderful water motion and I like the lights of the buildings giving some context and provising a contrast: man vs. nature.
August 21st, 2012  
@kamb The long exposure creates this misty look to the water. I think I did 3 sec. The rest is done in post processing.
August 21st, 2012
