Great shot! I'm curious about something... I'm not used to using filters and I'd like to know what's the advantage of getting a longer exposure on this kind of shots? (in other words: Why did you use an ND filter ? )

Chopen In reply to LFG530 [2010-07-15 06:32:17 +0000 UTC]

In this particular shot it didn't have any real advantage. It happened to be still on my lens and I just HAD to capture him walking there by himself (it's my girlfriend's little brother)

The sky was just brilliant that day and I'm very pleased with the composition myself. Had to clone stamp a few things from the shot though

I went to the beach in San Francisco 2 years ago and had a great time there! It's too bad I didn't have a better camera back then, really. I really miss the States, I had a great time there

Ramography [2010-03-24 14:49:01 +0000 UTC]

this is one amazing shot, i indeed love the contrast of blue and golden sands, the very sharp scattered clouds are giving this scenery such surrealism. what i loved about the minimalism of the boy, along with his shadow, giving it much more strength and drama..i tip my hat for you.

Nope, the weather remained great! Keep in mind that this shot has been edited so it was a lot brighter in reality
