Ocean Flow
Another shot from the trip to Ecola with Marc and John. I got pretty wet getting into postition for this one :wink:

This was an experiment in shutter speed, I was trying to capture the motion and feel at the same time. I think it worked out pretty well.

5D
17-40L
0.8 sec, f/16, ISO 200

This whole series is wonderful. Do you do anything special to protect your camera as it appears to be inches above the weter. :jump:

Jerry, I didn't have to do anything, I only got wet setting this up; I found a rock to set up on just above the water. The wave did come over the rock a bit but not enough to push me into the drink :wink:

Zack,
I'm liking this also. I wonder what a slightly slower shutter speed would have done. The just seems a little hard to me for this type shot. IMHO.

Nice water detail, and the color of the sky is awesome...

Zack, Great shot. Were any grad filters used ? 2 or 3 stop ?

Thanks for asking Pradeep, I forgot to mention this was a 3 stop digi grad blend.

Exposure, colors, and comp work perfectly. Really good image Zack.
