Ocean Rhythm

Thank You YoungBirch!

Thank You Richard. Couldn’t of done it without a tripod though ; )

Thank You Ken. I was a little late getting there to take this one. The sun had already set (behind me) so I had to lengthen the shutter speed. I’m very happy with the way it turned out.

Thank you very much Stephen!

Thanks Trevor. Exposure was 210 seconds at f f22, ISO 100.

Thank You Asoka!

Thank You Magee!

Thank You Mark. I likened the streak of light to an artist angerly striking his brush across the canvas, one final last stroke. It give the image some character.

Thank You very much Sylvia!

Thank You Kevin. I really enjoy taking long exposures and of all the photos I’ve taken this is one of my favorites!

Thank you Gail. I had an idea what this would look like when I took it but I must say it turned out even better than I thought it would!

Thanks Amarica!

Thanks Anne!

Thank You Mike!

Thank You Jan!

Thank You Greta! I shot 4 or 5 similar exposures and have one without the car lights but I thought that streak of light gave the image some character so I picked this one to publish!

Thank You very much!

Thanks again Julian. This is the kind of photography I love and a shot that is rather simple to get. Two important tools you need for a shot like this, that a lot of photographers don’t have, are a little patience and a heavy tripod.!

Hi Julian. As you can see from most of my photography that I tend to use slower shutter speeds which calls for a tripod. In my opinion the longer the shutter speeds the heaver the tripod the better. I have three tripods a Slik for travel and two Manfrottos,.In the U. S. I believe they are marketed under the Bogen brand name. My heavy tripod consists of Manfrotto (Bogen) 3251 legs with a large pan and tilt head. My mid sized is a Manfrotto 055 Pro B with a ball head which I use most of the time these days. This might be a good one for you to look into?
Got to say that I do believe and agree with some authors that using a tripod will help with composition because if forces you to slow down and take time to study just what you are about to compose. But it’s all relative to the type of photography you are into. All that being said, experimenting and trying new things is good. Good Luck!

Thanks Chris!
