Show/HidePhoto Information
Pinnacle Rock #1 by PatrickSmith
Point Lobos state park, at the north end of Big Sur just south of Carmel California could keep a photographer busy for months or even years. It is a penninsula that has been sculptured by large Pacific waves over millions of years and the results are stunning. This rock is probably 50 feet tall at high tide.
Details: 0.6 second exposure @F22 with ND grads 0.9 + 0.9
My usual 1/4 second exposure didn't paint the movement of the water quite enough so I had to go longer to show every detail.
I've missed everyone at EPZ while I've been working on my now completed probabilistic SQL data linkage program. I'm still really busy, but perhaps I can upload one per week and browse the the galleries.

Got the photography bug in august 2005, bought myself a reasonable camera and filters and off I went, generally concentrating on the peak district as it is my local turf. I'm always learning loads of new stuff.
Thanks for taking the time to look in and thanks for all...

Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. A love nurtured and then lost.

Nice to see you posting again, and I hope the probabilistic SQL data linkage wasn't to painful! 
Super level of detail in the rocks and the clarity is top draw. The movement from the sea looks very effective

LOL Kim. funny you should mention that because I'm trying to get my work into a very fancy gallery and the owner wanted to know how long I'd been doing photography and what my education was. What should I say? "Uh... well I have no photographic education but I've uploaded shots to EPZ for 2 years." Funny thing is, I've had more critique and education here on EPZ than I could have obtained from 10 years of school and normal experience. So, I never tell anybody about myself until after they see the shots! I'm in by the way.
LOL Adrian, well I hope to deliver more punishing blows in the future!

Funny you should mention that Terry.

I wished I could capture that for real. I'm still wishing, but for now this will do!
It's good to be back amidst all the drama!
