Some long exposures at the beach
Aug 29, 2019 15:10:01 #
Spent last weekend in Charleston, SC area and one morning at Botany Bay Plantation Heritage Preserve and Wildlife Management Area on Edisto Island. Wanted to try some longer exposures of waves and surf. It's more complicated with having to check tide charts, wave heights, sunrise times and open hunting on the preserve. All the shots were taken with a Canon 5D4 with the 14-105 f4 kit lens at ISO 100. Shutter times varied from two seconds to 20 seconds and spent two hours on the beach going through the various shades of orange, yellow and red during the sunrise.

I always love the warm colored shots best. Wouldn't you love to fly thru the clouds with an open single prop plane, especially thru the warm openings (like the Red baron)?

Beautiful! My favorite is #2 for the composition and color. The leading line of the two old pier posts in the water leads my eye to where the billowing clouds touch down to the water in the center right.

Your great sense of composition is a strong element in bringing out the essentials, and even the visual puns in some.

Spectacular shots! Thanks for the data. Gotta try that this October when we get stormy weather on the coast.

Just wondering how you got the clouds so sharp. Every time I attempt to do long exposures on sunsets the clouds come out soft due to the movement of the clouds

The time you spent was time well spent. Really nice. I wonder how the upcoming hurricane will impact your shooting?
