Long exposures are one of my things and I like to work with them quite a bit. I guess that it is obvious that that isn’t a major feature of my “style,” but I love working with long exposures at times, and I carry a 9-stop ND and a CP that I’ll use to extend exposure time. (You might find a few other long exposure shots in my gallery that might not be so obvious, since they don’t always go for the “misty” effect that sometimes comes from surf shots. I’m betting there might be at least a dozen in there. Here is one example.)

The recent seascapes that I’ve posted haven’t used the long exposure approach because I’ve been lucky to experience some pretty wild winter surf here along the Pacific shoreline.

One other thing about the crashing waves – I often time my shots to avoid the largest crash and resulting towers of spray. I actually find the water running back down off the rocks after the wave to be more interesting in many cases.

In any case, the shoreline is a source of endless fascination and endless photographic possibilities!

Take care,

Dan
