This is a 78 second exposure of Whytecliff Island, taken at Whytecliff Park, in Vancouver in December 2012. This was the first time in 3 months that I had picked up the camera and it felt soooo good to be out. Being a new parent means that my priorities have changed, but I wouldn't have it any other way :-) Every time I get out to shoot feels like a gift, which is the way it should be!!

 

I used a 10 stop ND filter, plus a 3 stop hard graduated ND filter to achieve the smoky sky and milky water. The midday sun was low in the sky and provided the perfect side-lighting source for a more dramatic effect.

 

Vancouver is such a special place and is so awesome for long exposure seascapes. The clouds and light were perfect that day, which made my soul smile :-)
