Shores of Neptune

Another shot from my recent trip to San Diego. This is taken along the shores at Nicholson point near La Jolla. I really felt like I came away with a lot of interesting and different shots from this one shoot. I normally have a rule of not posting more than one from a given shoot, but I have violated that several times this year so clearly not much more than a vague guideline now. This was a long exposure taken just after a large wave broke right in front of me. I didn't realize during the shot that I had water droplets on the filter. I decided that it looks kinda cool so I kept them rather than trying to fix it up. It seemed to add to the 'alien landscape' feeling. I came away with a few of these surreal alien landscape type shots so I'm going to put up a short series over next few days or weeks with 'Neptune' derived titles. I wish I could say I'd set out with that vision and captured it exactly as I planned. But that ain't how it went down.
