Moonlight Apostles
A section of the coastline at ‘The Twelve Apostles’, Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia. Taken before the collapse in 2005 of the stack in the forground. Photographed at night by time exposure (approx 1 1/2 hrs).
Note: This image is rather soft in focus due to gusty gale force winds and slight camera movement during the exposure even with the tripod anchored down.
Nikon F3, Fuji RDP film.

the long exposure really highlights the erosive effects of time. Great idea, captured well. The soft focus works well.

love it. great to see these long exposure shots. a place where batteries in a DSLR fear to tread. do you compose before it gets dark? you make me want to pull out my 6×7 and do some moonlight work.

Wow Ern, amazing that you did such a good job calculating the right exposure… I`ve never tried anything over 1/2 hour, and even then it was guess work. Yours here came out amazing! You`ve created a unique natural scene that could only be done through your method. Nice work!
