Very very very nice. Great fog effect.

How dark is that area usually at 10.30?

Where is La jolla?

Thanks for the exif I think I can do something like it in the next three weeks when I'll go to France for a holiday! Great shot!

This is an amazing shot. I'm surprise there isn't more grain in it.

For those that don't know. La Jolla is pronounced like, "La Hoya".

Would never have known that was a night shot. How do you work out an exposure for something like that?

What if it were a cloudy day and sun would come out from behind clouds and back again...I wonder how the long exposure would look...

 

[Jamiebear]

i just bracket exposures for this one i was actually spot on but for other shots that night i would do 3 mins then 4 mins and so on until on got it

i actually just sat there and watched the ocean its quite calming, its blurred in the photo but the waves were crashing against the rocks quite violently

How did you avoid a massive amount of grain with a 6 minute exposure time and no post processing?
