I was playing around with some dusk long exposures, something that always fascinates me because your eyes see near darkness yet the camera sees all kinds of lighted subjects. This one was 15 seconds long and involved a little light painting on the rocks in the foreground with a flashlight that had a rating at something like a billion lumens. I'm pretty sure that ships on the horizon temporarily veered off course because of the blinding light.
Beautiful image, great colour in the sky and on the water.
Maybe you already noticed yourself but there is quite some sensor / dust spots in the image (especially the sky), might be worth considering to have it (sensor) cleaned by a professional.
I tried this technique for the first time in November in Nova Scotia! It wasn't long before I couldn't feel my fingers! 15 seconds on the beach here in Paradise yielded beautiful results where there's time to practice a bit before returning home!
@leonbuys83 Thanks for the heads up, Leon! Yes, I must clean that sensor. I do it myself, but obviously not often enough. You'd think I'd be smart enough to at least use the spot healer. Thanks for the follow - I caught a quick look at your images. Very impressive!
@lyndemc It's a bitch living here....as you know. Yeah, it's pretty, but I've given much thought to leaving thanks to crowds, expense, and absolutely insane government, but when I realize I wouldn't be able to photograph in places like this, the argument loses much of its steam. I do like barn shots though!
@Weezilou 15 seconds of skin exposure in November in Nova Scotia could be fatal, right? Yes, much better to apply the technique in sunny Southern California....where you have a fire to warm you when done. ;-)
