Big Sur, CA Long Exposure Image
For this shot in Big Sur, CA I increased the density of my Singh-Ray Vari-ND to stretch the exposure time by an additional 3 stops -from 1/2 second at f22, to 4 seconds- which resulted in the soft, flowing surf. Adding my Singh-Ray Color Intensifier further enriched the sunset lighting and color of the ocean. I fired the Nikon D3X with a set of Pocket Wizard MultiMAX’s to make sure there was no vibration from manually pushing the shutter release button. PocketWizard’s make a great wireless cable release.
Shooting Data: Nikon D3X, Nikkor 24-70, Singh-Ray 77mm Vari-ND Filter, Singh-Ray 77mm Color Intensifier Filter, SanDisk Extreme Pro 32 GB CF Card, Gitzo Traveler One Tripod & Ball Head, PocketWizard MultiMAX
Exposure Data: [M] mode, 4 seconds, f/22 • White balance: Color Temp: (6000k) • Sensitivity: ISO 100 •Nikon Picture Control: Vivid
