Shimmering Grains

Long exposures by the sea

I have delayed these images for a while, looked a lot at them, and tried to dress them in words. I can’t …
They were not quite as I hoped, but I must say that I love them.
It was extremely difficult to photograph at this time, it was storm in the gusts, and I had to anchor the tripod and camera properly to not get shake in the exposures which were more than a minute long.
The difficulties made me forget everything I knew about reciprocity effect … So most of the pictures I made was heavily underexposed unfortunately.
I had my border collie with me, and he refused to go out on the rocks, he probably thought I was crazy, hehe …

This may look peaceful, but I assure you it wasn’t….

Enjoy! 🙂

Weekly Photo Challenge – SILHOUETTE

No, this is not a real bird, but a quite nice decoration of a small jetty that I found when I visited a friend recently.
I thought it was suitable for this week’s theme.

Enjoy!
