Image of the week #18

Long exposure photography can yield some interesting images even during the day, this image used a Lee Big Stopper, 10 stop ND filter in front of the Fuji 18mm lens at f16 and ISO 200 with the wonderful Fuji X-Pro 1 camera. This yielded a 15 second exposure of the incoming surf at Treasure Island in Laguna Beach, CA. There are some nice tidepools but you have to watch the incoming waves as the tide comes in, they can catch you by surprise. I did not get wet on this trip, but there were a few people there that did not watch the wave patterns! Several large waves arrived during this exposure and that leads to the misty water look during this exposure and overcast skies made for a nice even light. Hope you enjoy it.
