So, usually when I post an image of star trails from the night/morning before, I use for my 365. After all, I can guarantee that they exceed 30 seconds! However, even before I took the star images last night, early this morning, I knew that I was going to have the honor of my Thursday morning beach run. Even though I was lucky enough to get out for a sunset, I still wanted to make my Thursday La Jolla date! :) And I am so glad I did. Actually, the day was yet again another bust. No color any where, all grey! And the weather report said mostly sunny after 10. So, after my little nap, I went to snap away. And in the process of snapping, I tried a few new things.
First of all, I brought with me a large towel and got down low, and tried to snap away from a new point of view. Did not like the outcome, possibly due to the lack of color and lack of large waves. 1.5 feet max! The second thing I tried? This! I went EXTREME this time! 5 minute exposure. I went extreme with the ND filters. For the first time ever, I stacked the B+W ND110 with the B+W ND106, to create a total blockage of 16 stops of light! And at the end of the day, I knew that I was going to go for a black and white convert on this one. And at the end of the day, I am happy with what I came home with. I could have saved some time and went for this shot first thing, but then again, I enjoyed my day at the beach. Oh how I love La Jolla cove!
