At Oceanside beach - this was 20 min. after sunset and the light was still glowing just a sliver in the bottom of the horizon. I wanted to capture the dual motion of the clouds and the waves while soloing out just the three arch rocks in the frame as the only elements not moving.

Great shot! This is AFTER sunset? I expected a little more moodiness or darker color, I guess. Not a nit, just sayin'...

Really nice John. Love the mood and the isolated feel you achieved with the stacks. :toast:

Very cool John, I dig after sunset images and the blues that are captured during that time.

Catherine, you can see the small sliver of red..... these summer days are VERY long and the ambient light was quite nice to work with..... 8 seconds and a little "velvia" tweeking and the colors I wanted are realized.... :smile:

Wow - 8 seconds! That's a really nice shot, John - somewhat abstract and surreal. It's definitely in the "art" column for me!

Thanks, John! Now I see it and appreciate it better. I am glad you pointed it out. You wide-angle landscape guys! I gotta tell you, you've all got eagle eyes. I probably would've passed this up as rather bland. So, glad you showed it. It inspires me to do more with moving clouds, as I've wanted to try it; now have to find the right spot. :wavey:
