For all my past printed work:
The reason for the unsteadiness of the video is that the wind was whipping and I could not hold the camera still. The last few seconds show two big crashes against the pier, so hang in there! :)
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.
Ruby Beach, high tide
Destruction Island and its lighthouse in the background.
This is the graveyard of the Pacific.
Hand held long exposures from a trip to Mallacoota late November last year, time for another beach trip!

When the surf is up in San Diego the best surfers come out to play. I also head out tho capture the action. It's time to see the surfboard fly. I will take picture os surfers performing dope moves. Then there's the wipe outs. Surfing photography is my passion. I hope you see it in the pictures I take. I am David B. Gibby, photographer of people in motion.
