Atlantic at Dusk

Looking out onto the cold Atlantic Ocean from a deserted beach in the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge on Plum Island, shortly before sunset.

 

There's something really lovely about the beach in winter.

 

I slowed down the water in this shot using a combination of a polarizer and an 8 stop ND filter. I stuck my little plastic ultrapod in the sand to steady the shot fo the long exposure.

 

Note: this looks much better viewed against black (try the Flickr Lightbox).
