In photography as in life its amazing how a little time can soften blows. Here a pounding swell is softened against the rocks with a 30 second time exposure . The colours remain but the sharpness is gone from the water detail.
The shadows are a distraction but I love the colours and their contrast with each other. Not a bad practice shot for a semi-new type of photography for me. My first shot with the new “black glass” filter.
My favourite photographic spot again.

superb Garth, go the black glass
Thank you Travis, yes , lets see what this baby can do. Wonder what happens if I put my 110 &106 & 205 on. 19 Fstops on the top half and 16 on the bottom half.
Now all I have to do is find an application where that may be useful and give a result that cant be achieved in other ways?! Stumped at this stage.
