SeaCaves, Paphos

The milky sea in the foreground and the beautifully caught wave crashing to the rocks look so beautiful Herb. I am certainly enjoying it :) Cheers, Rosa.

Thanks Rosa. This was literally a two minute walk from our rented villa. Of all the pictures I took of these caves, I like this the best. Glad that you too enjoyed it.

Cheers, Herb

Brilliant shot, perfect timing, great composition and pov.

A lot of praise there for a relatively small sentence John. I gather then that you liked it :)

Cheers, Herb

Nice shot I think even better than ND filter as you also caught the wave, i know you would have had a field day here. Still think the best is yet to come...

Thanks Steve, I actually used the 8x ND filter that I got from you for this. It was very bright there and even at F20 125 iso I could only go down to 0.5sec but as luck has it, it worked well for this one. Glad you liked it too.
Cheers, Herb

Nice Image Herb I think the shutter speed is just right love the waves another excellent shot.
Regards TOZ

Thanks Toz, I must agree with you that the shutter speed looks good. Very happy that you like another of my captures. I seem to be putting a lot of seascapes on here at the moment.

regards, Herb

Great shot. You can feel the dynamic of the water.

Good that you see that too Susanne. This was a wonderful bit of coastline.

Cheers, Herb

Excellent shot Herb, I do like the little eddy in the water shown by the slower shutter speed.

Thanks Maurice, great that you enjoyed this. yes the slower speed does make for more interesting close ups of the water.
Cheers, herb

fine long exposure

Thanks for this Leo.

A great action shot Herb

Always good to get low down on shots like this Peter.

Cheers, Herb

Yes, on black and full screen, Truly maginificent!

Glad you tried it Andy. I always look at my shots full screen to see if they will do. Glad you liked it.

Regards, Herb

Thank you Daniella.

Best Wishes, Herb

A lovely slow exposure shot, the wave has been caught nicely and that's a great background.

Thanks a lot George. I very much value your praise here as I know you have much experience of these things too. I had, after this, some days later, gone down to take some more long shutter speed shots, about a half mile further on but as I set up the camera on the tripod realised that I did not have the ND filter. An unlearned moral there somewhere! Anyway -glad you liked this one.

Tolle Küste! Eine schöne Langzeitbelichtung!

Thanks Rainer - a fine coast indeed and this bit was only a few metres from our holiday home here.
Regards, Herb

I'm not usually fond of the long-exposure shots of flowing water, so many photographers are overdoing the effect and it's become a mainstay of the kitsch calendar industry. Here, it's done subtly and the result is well-balanced, nearly natural with a bit of extra impact.

BTW, I did look at the "full-screen" version, but it appears to be the same size as this one.

Thanks for this Sarah. Always good when a photo ends up well and people react to it.. As you say-long exposure sea shots are now somewhat kitsch but they can still look nice (as I have still to post some of mine from Ireland) - if done right. This is relatively fast at 0.5sec and so still retrains that normal photographic freeze of the movement and clarity. A wonderful spot just meteres from our rented villa here. I took a lot but this was the best of the long exposures.

I think the 'full size' effect depends somewhat on your screen. The photo is 2400x1557 and the aspect ratio is well suited for Ipernity via Chrome and my desktop monitor (at 27") so full screen on black looks excellent but I also know that different browsers don't always display as I see them. My Apple Ipad shows only the top 75% of the picture in full landscape mode . Ah well.

Cheers, Herb

Superb timing and a wonderfully sharp image Herb,
