Incoming Tide

A real beauty. May I ask what film it was shot with? Did you use any ND filters or was it dark enough not to? Curious to ask, as I want to do more long exposure shooting myself!

Thank you Holden. Colin, Thanks. I used Fuji Acros 100. No filters. As far as I know, it has the best reciprocity characteristics of any film. Tmax 100 and Delta 100 come in at second place. I recommend you experiment with exposures. Under full Moonlight I generally start at a base exposure of 8 minutes at f/8. Given the 1/2 stop loss of Acros at this exposure, I extend the exposure to 12 minutes. This is a good starting place.Motion over time is a grand element in these night seascapes. Moonlight, stars, and ocean waves. The possibilities are literally endless. I've been doing these types of exposures since 2008 after decades of film astrophotography. That discipline taught me the limits, but also the advantages of film in long exposure work. Good luck in your pursuit of these long time exposures.

Ahhh, love it! I have always been a strong believe that the best seascape pictures are taken after the sun has gone down. Very very nice indeed.....I'd certainly be very happy to have this one hanging on my wall! hmmm, we have some glacial rocks near the sea where I live. Might just need to check out tide and moon times coming up!

Yes, perfect in every way.

Thank you for sharing.

Lovely.

Very nice indeed!

Very nice composition, negative must look just spectacular at that size

Give it a try. The results of long exposures like this have an element of surprise! That's part of the attraction.
