Title: Seascapes
Post by: robdickinson on November 07, 2013, 05:09:44 pm: I love shooting seascapes, normally shoot between 1/50th and 1 second or so to keep some movement.

For this though I chose a much longer shutter speed, 20 seconds, I felt the scene and the lighting had enough impact without the movement...

Thanks!

Almost no processing on this! Just a touch of contrast.

Excellent work!!

Definitely one for the wall I think - would probably look amazing as a large and ultra shiny acrylic :)

I think I will have a series from this shoot printed! Not sure about shiny acrylic, though printing options are more limited in NZ.. :D
