CRYSTAL FOG

Canon EOS Rebel XS, Promaster 19-35 lens @ 19mm, ISO 100, f/16, 8 seconds

  A week ago Wednesday Erik Kerstenbeck and I explored around Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach, CA. Most of our initial time was spent under the pier due to rain falling on us when we arrived. As the rain subsided, we started venturing out from under the pier onto the beach. As I moved that direction, I couldn't resist this mess of kelp that was clinging onto this last piling as the ocean water tried to pull it away with every wave.
   Using my ND8 filter I was able to get an 8 second shutter speed and turn the waves into a virtual fog trying to engulf the kelp. The light at the end of the pier was almost ominous in the background.
