Deceptively Calm

Ocean Ridge, Florida

 

A turbulent scene calmed by an 11 minute exposure. The turbulence was the result of a powerful nor'easter that slammed the U.S. northeast a few days prior. I wanted to get closer to the jetty but I'm not yet brave or adept enough to work my gear in rushing water. And I hate getting sand in my shorts ;-)

 

Taken with the Singh-Ray I-Ray 830 nm IR filter (first attempt with the D810). My limited experimentation reveals the D810 to be no more sensitive to IR than the D750 (unsurprisingly), rendering the I-Ray 830 roughly equivalent to a 20-stop ND for these unconverted platforms, necessitating long exposures and/or large apertures at low ISO values.
