The calm side of Fuerteventura

After 3 days of storm that morning came with a complete silence, no

whistling of the wind through palm branches, no rattling of the blinds in

our bungalow. When I got down to the beach, there was another

surprise – the ocean was as calm as a lake with just an occasional

small wave lapping against the rocks.

I like how you've catched a so good peaceful atmosphere. The ocean look like oil, really pleasant! The exposure and the tones are good, however a even longer exposure can give a even better look to the water and maybe, with a stronger ND Grad filter, more details on the rocks.

Enough detail for me on the rocks. The reflections of the sun peeking through the clouds are well balanced by the darker rocks. The atmosphere is indeed very peaceful. This must have been quite a long exposure. Did you shoot this before sunrise/after sunset, or did you combine your ND grad with a strong ND filter to smooth out the waves ? A very nice shot.

Thanks for the comments, Enrico and Peter! Peter, this photo was shot shortly (circa 10 minutes) after the sunrise, however there was already so much light that I had to use a 6 stop ND filter + Grad ND to smooth out the water.

Nicely none 6/5 anon

I like very much the composition and the mood !!
