Morningtide

Continuing on with shoots from Olympic Coast. This shoot was taken before the Blushing Moon. It was raising tide and each incoming tide sank me and my tripod lower into the sand. By the time I noticed, water was already in my boots. I should probably invest in a wader and figure out how to lock my tripod in the sand for future outings.

Extra socks and shoes helped…

5D II, 16-35 @30mm, F11, 2 Shoots 0.5sec

Thanks for looking,
Zho

Nice image. Love the pinks.
FWIW - Years ago I had purchased a set of "web feet" for my tripod. They were circular, about 6" diameter, made of some sort of hard rubber or something, and slipped over the bottom of each tripod leg. Their intended purpose was exactly what you're looking for. And they worked. My tripod stayed steady on top of wet sand.
Sorry though - I can no longer recall what they were called or where I purchased them. Maybe they still exist somewhere.

Really pink and really nice, Zhoen. The SS is spot on and the sunset beautiful. Nothing I can suggest for improvement.

Nice light and I like opposite flow of the waves/clouds.

Beautiful pinks in this Zhoen and good choice of SS for the water. Wonderful sky also. Excellent image.

Thanks everyone, and thanks for the suggestion Michael. I'll keep that in mind in my search. I did find these spikes that are couple inches long that can be attached to the legs, not sure how well they work.

Great warmth in this scene along with some wonderful water action, Zhoen. Sweet image.

The fine flow movement in the foreground water sets off the clouds in the sky very nicely. I also like where you positioned the sea stacks and how you distributed them in the frame.
