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...

Only got into photography last summer, and I am totally addicted to it!! Thanks to Carl Ryan and Mari Sterling for pointing me to this site.
If anyone wants to get in touch, my address is plmorgan68@tiscali.co.uk
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. Just a couple of hours before I was in some of those fancy Carmel art galleries looking at million dollar paintings (literally!) and one grabbed me with a ship being tossed by waves with amazing light going through the scene.

Mostly taking landscapes, some studio, macro and quirky. I like quirky best! I'd love to be good at portraiture.

Fantasitc shot Patrick. The movement of the water around the base of rock is just so expressive and adds a lot of power to this shot. Perfectly judged shutter speed.
Ben, I'll admit that it took 3 attempts to get the shutter speed right before I could take my real shots. This was a big scene almost in slow motion compared to my other real close-in shots.
