Juanita – what a good word, mystical. Slightly coloured in my mind by how freaking cold the water is around here. Just not going to be entering this pool, or allowing it to enter ones mind either.

On second look.. It does look cold 🙂 but, I still think they look mystical!!

Great sense of motion and still, at the same time here. You really feel the power in Mother Nature and the ocean in this set. My favorite is definitely the 1st one in this set, there’s something highly dramatic in it.

Hello Toad – so glad to have your perspective on these. That one is my favourite as well and I too have some trouble putting my finger on why I like it. Something to do with the quality of the light on the rock, maybe from the longer exposure.

I like how in the first one the rocks appear to be made out of metal, and the water too.

Hi pipsqueak – interesting observation. I have noticed that in other peoples moving water pictures with long exposures. I think it must be an effect from the exposure and being wet.

Nicely done…I love photos of water that show movement!

Thank you DH. This is just a few metres away from the stormy shots I took a few weeks ago. In fact it is right in front of boulder that I sheltered my camera behind.

I like these a lot. I’ve been posting a lot of prolonged exposure water images lately, I just love the look of them!

David – I have been enjoying your water images. I think I am going to have to get an ND filter so I can get the longer exposures. I have tried using a polarising filter to slow down the exposure, but of course that can work against the shot in other ways, especially with water.

Very nice set of photos, especially the second shot. that snake-like object follows the curve of the water.

Hi ken – I like that alignment too, which is drawn onto the rocks by the tide – arranged by the waves at high water. The plant is bull kelp, an extremely large form of algae that can occur over many hectares of ocean in some places creating forests in the ocean that support a complex and rich ecosystem. There are all kinds of animals adapted to live in the kelp, or to feed on its inhabitants – crabs are common. If you are lucky you can encounter a whale along these edges. In this picture you can see part of the stem which was attached to the ocean floor and rises to a bulb (the stem and bulb are hollow so they float) and then there are long flat fronds that flow out like hair from the bulb. The kelp is washed away by winter storms, and then grows again the next year. This is an amazing phenomenon when you think they can grow as long as 74m (240 feet) in a few months. They are very good fertilizer for gardens, around here you occassionally see people pushing a wheelbarrow full down the street.
