Bones of the Ocean

Two dead trees from Boneyard Beach (Botany Bay Plantation) on Edisto Island, South Carolina.

 

This is a single 40 second exposure just around sunset. I played around with lots of different ways to process this, including black-and-white, various tones, etc. In the end, I kept it very close to neutral. The yellow/brown tint is due to the sunset tones combined with a slight brownish tint from the B+W 10-stop filter. Slightly cropped and reduced exposure/highlight on the top half because I somewhat overexposed the original.

 

This is the long exposure shot I started off with before the storm moved in (mentioned two photos previously in my photo stream).
