Seascapes

[robdickinson]

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.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Very nice.

[Christoph C. Feldhaim]

Thats a very strong image, color and compositon - both lovely.
Good stuff!

[wolfnowl]

I like this "end of the world" atmosphere…

[Paulo Bizarro]

Very good atmosphere and light.

[stamper]

Yes. The foreground interest is good and doesn't overpower the sunset. The balance between the two is excellent. That one should imo be framed.

Hi Rod,

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..

+1 to all the above. Did you use a filter? Or just get up really early?

Both! I was 2 hours ahead time zone wise so early wasnt a problem.

Shot with a 2 stop lee hard grad.
