Surf Rock

[Michael13]

This sea stack caught my eye at Garrapata State Park in California earlier this month. The right half appears to have precision cuts making the sides almost straight, whereas the left is just randomly crumbling away slowly. A thirty second exposure with 13 stops of ND.

Sweet - Mother Nature is being artistic in how gravity is being applied to those rock faces I like the effect of the long exposure on the wave action.

Thanks Alan. I am getting my money"s worth from my ND filter set. My next body upgrade will definitely have the extended shutter speeds on the menu to help make life easier!

Beautiful. Perfect place to use a looong exposure.

Wow! Perfect picture!

Thanks John! There were many sea stacks there, but this one stood out.

Beautiful. Perfect place to use a looong exposure.

Thanks Jameel! There was a lot of looking around and waiting on this trip. 3 days in Big Sir and only one and a half hours of direct light.

This is super cool Michael. That's a fun area, and I like how you captured it.

It's amazing when I find rocks out in the wild that look like they were actually cut by a gemologist the edges are so straight.

Michale, this is a beautiful long exposure shot.

I would try black & white conversion too.

Thanks Oliver. I am working on a different version of this rock in b+w.
