Great image. It just oozes velvety texture. Love those mid tones in the water. Quality work indeed.

A wonderful design both in line and value. As others have noted, that silvery water is terrific.

Wonderful!! CAn I ask how you exposed your film for this image? Was this a guess, or did you make an educated guess, what part of this scene did you meter?

Hello, thanks for the nice comments.

For metering, I use a Pentax digital spot meter and meter the water, sand, ocean etc and place on appropriate zones. Then take the time indicated and adjust for reciprocity failure from a small chart taped to the meter. I usually rate the film at 200.
