Beach Abstract
Posted by Scott F. Schilling (San Martin, United States) on 4 April 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual.
A sunset at Garrapata Beach - Big Sur - this evening had upper clouds and a fog bank below - the upper clouds lit up with color with the lower clods remained gray. I used a long exposure to blur the motion a bit.

Wow! That's so great! I love how the cool colors in the middle are framed by the warmer tones in the top and bottom of the frame. And I love the effect of the longer shutter speed. Great shot!

Wonderful processing, Scott! I simply love the color of the water and those rocks are absolutely sublime!

This is lovely, and a nice technique which has made this scene almost mysterious.

This is really beautiful, Scott. The striations in the gray fog bank almost seem to move as I scroll up and down to seen the entire photo. The longer exposure worked its magic for you!

Scott, I really like the misty feel to this image; nice that you are experimenting with long exposures.

Wonderful shot, Scott! Great effect (and good decision to lengthen exposure) with the details in the sand and rocks separated by the more diffuse swash zone and surrounding water. Is the linearity in the fog bank also a function of that longer exposure? Really nice. Thanks for sharing your terrific picture and your skills!

@Tony Duque: Tony, thanks for the comment - the long exposure blurred the fog - but I think something got exaggerated in the processing and downgrade to jpg - not sure but the fog is a bit messed up on this currently - I may have to redo

Oh Scott; this is a fantastic breathtaker!

Hi, captured this amazingly, the stripey effect works so well, great time of day to shoot by the looks of it. You have a great eye for your subjects.

Nice piece of work. For a second I thought mountain tops covered with clouds.

Scott, this is amazing work. Your choice of a longer exposure really "made" this scene come to life.

This is so beautiful! I love how you have included the detail of the sand and made such a nice contrast with the mist and ocean. Stunning.
