“自然抽象之形: 白浪如雪山 Nature Abstract Forms: Waves as snowy mountains” / 香港吐露港之寧 Hong Kong Tolo Harbour Serenity (11-sec ND LE) / SML.20130519.6D.06942.P1.L1
Nature has a very magical property: under the right condition, one can look like another.
This looks like an aerial view of a snowy mountain, but in fact is a 11 second long exposure of the sea. The white streaks are mostly a result of the sunlight being reflected on the moving water surface. Eleven seconds is a long time for water to travel, and so it renders a rather unexpected capture.
In my mind, I had imagined that it would leave a long trail of something, but I too did not expect these results. Trust that I will be trying this more in the future, perhaps with a wider lens also.
The uneven exposure on the left side of the frame is somewhat unfortunate—it comes from the shadow of the building I am in. I tried to fix it a bit inside Photoshop but perhaps I should just try to avoid this spot next time.
