So, I went to Scarborough last evening to try and hear the angel music at sunset… :))

Ever since seeing others do it, I’ve had a crush on using a very strong neutral density filter(s) to do the silky water (long exposure) thing in daylight. I’ve practiced a couple times on more mundane scenery, all the while knowing that taking shots like this in Cape Town would be sooooo much better…:))

Shot on the beautiful beach at Scarborough, about fifty minutes before sunset. I used two ND8 filters and the circular polariser on the mighty Sigma 10-20, and opened the shutter for 5 seconds at f25. On a tripod…:))

Oh. It’s not as wide as usual (ie 12mm vs the normal 10mm) ‘cos with all these filters added, the vignetting is fearsome…

Please take a larger look :))
