Colour at Dusk
The waves wash back and forth changing the colour of the weeds on the foreshore rocks each time
A white wave surges in and turns the rocks milky and then the weed black. It smoothly changes back to bright yellow/green over the next 15 seconds as the water drains out and the filaments stand back up.
Tirelessly forward and back, yellow to black to yellow to black.
This is a quite long exposure so I wasnt quite sure what I would get in the almost dark light.

I suppose part of the fun of long exposures is not knowing exactly how it’s going to turn out. I bet you were pleased when this appeared on the lcd!
Garth Smith replied 22 days ago
Thank you James, yes that is exactly part of the attraction, and yes the D90 has a great LCD screen and this one was glowing.
