Long Exposure

This was taken on the shores of Lake Superior in Ontario this summer.
I was waiting for the sun to set to get some nice effects from the water with a long exposure.
This one was a 30sec @ f22 exposure.... it took a few tries to get one this sharp! The waves were actually crashing quite hard... I found it amusing to get such a quiet peaceful image from such a thunderous event!

Very nice, the tones are so well controlled.

What lens and focal length out of interest? The perspective suggests quite wide angle.

Yes Mike indeed you are correct!
It was the DA16-45 set at 16mm.... in fact my first shot actually had the tripod leg in it

Beautiful! Did you have to use NDs to get the long exposure?

Cracking image Joshua,

These are the photos I love seeing here.. the ones that inspire me to go and (attempt to) do something similar. Looks like it's off to the seaside boxing day..

Cheers

"By coincidence, Joshua Hakin just just paid one of his periodic visits, and posted the best picture we've seen here for a while. It's b&w, and if anybody says they don't like it, then I can only shake my head sadly and point them in the direction of a basic course in art appreciation."

My God! I am astounded by the response!
Thank you so much!
It was a huge effort for me to get this shot, and I posted it because it resonates with me on many levels.
It was on the shore of lake Superior in Ontario and I managed to find the 14km road that lead from the highway to the beach 1 hour before sunset... the road was very rough and was just 2 tire ruts through the forest... it took 45 mins just to drive 14kms in my 4x4truck then find a good spot o the beach to try and capture a few shots I had already imagined in my head. This image was one I didnt pre-visualize... so it was a treat for me to get it....
I used a polarizer on the lens to add exposure time and enhance the silky water affect.
What really struck me was how peaceful the shot looked... when the reality of the scene was pounding waves that seriously made nervous as I got as close as I could to include them in the frame.

Then I had a 45 min drive back through the woods in the dark... I was pleased to pull this photo up on my laptop later to see the detail.
I am thrilled you all like it too!
