Exposed by PatrickSmith
On the first evening of my vacation in Mexico, I saw this old exposed pier at sunset, but the sun was not exactly setting at the end, so I waited a few days for the sun to move over into the correct spot. The sun really was that red!
As I finished shooting various versions of this (long/short exposures etc.), I turned around and a young guy said to me; 'You are SO lucky!' I said, 'Well, partially. I've waited for a week for this to happen.'
We talked for a while, and he told me that a hurricane last October (category 5, direct hit, 220mph gusts) had exposed this pier and that the beach used to extend well past the end of the exposed pier. He did not even know this existed until after the hurricane. The sand is about 5-10 feet lower than before.
30 second exposure @F20 with ND grad 0.6

Wonderful dreamy shot Patrick.
Can I suggest a little time saving tip ... instead of waiting several days for the sun to turn in the heavens, just invest a few bucks in photoediting software then you can put the sun wherever you like without the wait.
Or is that heresy)

Nicely controlled exposure for 30 seconds. I love the colours of the moss on the pier stands and the dreamy effect of the water.
I'm not too sure about the sun though, it could just be this LCD monitor but it seems overy bright and red. I'll take another look on my CRT when I get home.

LOL Ann... I wish! For now I'll take your evaluation... it is 'art' that looks fine with you..
LOL Dave! I'll stand back away from you now as the lightning bolts strike!
Yes Marc, it really was that colour. It was almost blown out and I actually desaturated it a bit to get back the original shape, which was rather flattened out like a stack of pancakes for just a minute.
No Keith, just a soft grad. The horizon had a nice dark line to it, as it was under that dark line of clouds. I thought I'd get grief for this one from certain people - LOL!

Patrick this Just STUNNING!!!! The long exposure has worked its magic here and the misted water is just beautiful. The composition is great too and the wait for the sun to appear in just the right place was well worth it.
Having a root around your folio for me this is one of your defining images (together with rust and surf). The subtle processing work and wonderful colouring together with a cracking composition make this a truly outstanding shot. I think you should invest in getting a really large print of this framed and hung up in your house!!!
Excellent work, Ben

Thanks Nigel. The sun sets in a predictable pattern throughout the year and fortunately I was there on the right week so I could wait for just a little nudge of the Earth to do its job.

I haven't a month spare to read through the comments above to see if someone has already referred to the almost dreamlike quality of this beautiful image, so I'll risk mentioning it!
I was watching Basic Instinct the other night and thought of you, Patrick. I hasten to add that it was the coastal landscape, and not the rather more salacious qualities of that motion picture, that made me think of you.
You realize you're getting old when you're watching a film like Basic Instinct and the only things that really excite you are the heather growing on someone's lawn, the wisteria growing up someone's walls, and the wonderful coastal landscape.

No wonder Patrick is a superb photographer, he has all the quality in his images that teach us the color balance and simpliciy, angle of view, and most of all , the patience to produce gallery images.

LoobyLoo, sometimes it does but sometimes I come back with nothing after many hours of hoping!
Hi Chris (Chris_Ceaser), I will try. I have not made a big effort to sell any yet but I'm getting closer to that point.
Chris (Chriscj), The sky and land were almost the same brightness so only a 0.6 was required. There were some bright clouds straight overhead and above this frame that brightened up the ocean a lot. That is how ocean can be brighter than sky sometimes.

Russ (LeCCy), I thought I'd get grief from the ones who don't like long exposures and white milky seas! But I put it up anyway. So far, no grief LOL! So now, I've got another one planned. I've got to go out and plan it further, as it may take months for the sun to be in the right place, if ever. Time for Google Earth! This one will have the Golden Gate Bridge in the distant background.
