Camera details:
ISO 200 : f/22 : 10 seconds : 18mm : Nikon D40 : Nikon 18-55mm lens
Shot narrative:
The calm stillness of the water is offset against the crashing waves against the rocks. It was a cold day and the tide was far out meaning that parts of the beach that are usually cut off by the tide were accessable and I could walk a mile or so along the beach from the car park to reach this spot.
