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.
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.
I went to Wave Hill today and met up with some friends from my photo club. I hadn't planned on doing any serious shooting and didn't bring my macro gear but everywhere I looked there was something to photograph in the conservatory.

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

a very very windy evening in the corner...very few people in the water and some decent size waves...
ATTITUDE
I don't know, when I look at it that's the first thought I get... "attitude, nothing get's in the way and it does its own thing."
Such waves this weekend. Easily got some of the best waves of my life. . I still have visions from this morning replaying in my head. Believe it or not this was before it picked up.

Another dreary 2 hour coach transfer to the airport, waiting for people who still hadn't put their watches forward an hour. The first afternoon was really windy but the next 3 days were sunny and increasingly calm.
