Thought I'd post something a little different today. We had a large swell hit the coast last week so I got out and took some shots of the waves and then got out in the water and caught a few good ones for myself too. This was taken from the Capitola pier.

It was a wet and windy day along the California coastline today...
(Sorry I've been dumping and running lately - busy with work and home - will catch up with you all soon)
I typically upload in small sets - don't just look at the latest one in my photostream as you might be missing something you'll like more.... and your comments are ALWAYS welcome :)

please check my LiveJournal (username opals) if you can't get to the photo here.
this is my first freehand doodle/tangle of my own. :) there are more variations for this tangle, i just wanted to get this done quickly. :)
Waves Breaking over a wood and concrete groyne on Brighton Shingle Beach.
A multiple exposure image, made up of 62 images, taken at 10 second + intervals.
The exposures were layered in Adobe Photoshop. All the layers above the base layer were given progressively reduced opacity, so that each layer had equal overall weight.
From the base upwards, the layer opacity (the "opposite" of transparency) progressed by the following series:
1/1 (=100%), 1/2 (=50%), 1/3 (≅33%), 1/4 (=25%), 1/5 (=20%), 1/6 (≅17%) etc.
Because the version of Photoshop that I used only increments opacity by 1% units the top layer weightings were approximate. For example layer 62 required an opacity of 1/62 (≅1.6129%) - approximated in Photoshop to 2%.
Here are some typical individual shots (indicating the level of "choppiness" of the waves)...Picture #1, Picture #2, Picture #3, Picture #4, Picture #5
I had tried to recreate the wispy effects that can be achieved (with moving water with long exposures) that I obtained in near darkness - by using two ND4 filters in bright daylight. However, even using the slowest ISO speed setting, it was not possible to obtain very long durations single exposures. This is why I took the multiple exposure approach.
Those of you who either know me well, or have known me for a long time, know that I went to Arizona State University many, many years ago. Well, to quote George Costanza, I'm back baby. I recently signed up for their online BFA in digital photography, and just turned in part of my first week's assignment (a photo shoot of stuff involving water). I'll probably finish this just in time for retirement but, as one of the kids pointed out, it's at least one degree we don't yet have in our family.
Poppies: Wave is from the installation ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’ poppies and original concept by artist Paul Cummins and installation designed by Tom Piper – by Paul Cummins Ceramics Limited in conjunction with Historic Royal Palaces, originally at HM Tower of London 2014.
Poppies: Wave is a sweeping arch of bright red poppy heads suspended on towering stalks. This sculpture, and Weeping Window, by artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper were initially conceived as the key dramatic sculptural elements in the installation ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’ at the Tower of London in the summer and autumn of 2014. Over the course of their time at the Tower, the two sculptures were gradually surrounded by a vast field of ceramic poppies, each one planted by a volunteer in memory of every British or Colonial life lost at the Front during the First World War. In their original setting they captured the public imagination and were visited by over five million people.

Hand held long exposures from a trip to Mallacoota late November last year, time for another beach trip!
