    Speechless Garth…. temporarily anyway! Amazing photography and that movement – amazing for 6 seconds! What WB did you use here? Go Garth!

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thanks Vicki, WB set to auto, I have never touched it. Auto seems to do such a good job that it seems unecessary.

    Stunning color, texture and mist, great composition! love the misty purple tones! Dee

  • Garth Smith replied

    Hi Dee, thank you, the lovely purple tones provided by the predawn sun glowing and bouncing through grey clouds Hardly noticeable to the eye but caught magically by the camera.

    Anne O'Connor

    Super Garth. Love the misty look. Twas an early rising this morning I assume.

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thanks Anne, not too early really, up at 6 for about a just before 7 am shoot. Quite a sleep in compared to some of the December shoots where it was up at 4 for a 5am shoot. Looking forward to winter LOL. Maybe it will be up at 7 for an 8 am shoot. Or maybe shift to Alaska and take predawn shots all day!!!

    Jan Timmons

    Good use of dawn light and slow ss. You’ve captured and helped to create a wonderful mood, and imbue this with an emotion. Another RB-er and I were just discussing emotion in a landscape photo, and how to achieve it. And here you are.

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you Jan, its kind of you to say so, and thank you for stopping by

  • Kostas Pavlis

    Kostas Pavlis

    This is really awesome, amazing take, excellent implementation of long exposure.

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you Kostas. I love this type of photography. It has become my favourite I think. Up before dawn to see the best part of the day.

  • Andrew Murrell

    Andrew Murrell

    Love the texture of the rocks, they look murderous and sharp. The movement of the water makes the rocks look even more sinister, like there may be something bad lurking JUST below. A really MOODY image….

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you very much Andrew and sorry I missed your comments til now. Great comments and exactly what I hoped for when I took the shot. You have summed it up perfectly.

  • photosbyflood

    photosbyflood

    very nice long exposure, I love early mornings for this.

  • Jared D White

    Jared D White

    Your long exposure work is phenominal!
    This one in particular is perfectly framed and captured, well done

  • Garth Smith replied

    Thank you very much Jared, I learnt by checking out the brilliant photographers work here and by attempting to get the same feel as they did. And I am still finding stuff and going “Wow, I wish I took that” its great, I love it. The fact that I love being down on the foreshore rocks at dawn and dusk helps too!

  • Garth Smith replied

    Actually this sort of shot is the reason I bought my DSLR, I had a 12X compact but it was just no good for these sort of shots.

  • KarenKSmith

    KarenKSmith

    WOW, this gets lots of WOW and it seems by how far down I needed to scroll it did. Absolutely FABULOUS in everyway.
