30May2013: Photo 150

Exmouth. Again, I wanted to practice with my 10 stop filter, and for this one, I also used a 0.9 stop graduated filter to even out the sky and water but darkening the sky a little. The 10 stop filter adds a nasty blue cast to the image, and so quite a lot of post production was required to correct for this. I focussed on the rocks in the foreground, because I thought the image wouldn't be pleasant to look at if they were blurred, and it has worked very well. I used a 1 minute exposure for this image, as I wanted to flatten the water and show motion in the people walking and fishing on the beach. I'm pleased with how this has worked out.
