new Dusk at Big Sur, 1, b/w

Yesterday after work, a long exposure. Thanks.

great photo, it is somewhat surreal.

Excellent. Great work.

stunning!

Kurt! your long exposure images is wonderful. I really like them very much. And not only a water, the sky as well has the silky effect, and very dramatic with those white lines.

The water and clouds give this a dreamlike quality that I really like. I don't know how much post processing you did, but whatever you did, it is superb. I should mention too that the composition is right on the money. Have I mentioned yet how much I like this photo?

Mark, I appreciate your comment on this one. I really struggle sometimes with long exposures because of the technical issue and having to deal with windy conditions and salt spray. Then there are compositional questions to consider. I'm not always thinking about orientation of lines or things like that...just feeling what seems right. Last of all, this is a merger of three separate images, always fraught with difficulty. So the postprocessing has to manage the technical flaws (seams, b/w conversion, cropping) and then just cross my fingers :) Thanks again for leaving a comment here. I want to keep experimenting with this sort of composition, and your encouragement is appreciated.
