Description
Okay, This isn't exactly "new". It was posted in February, but it just sold and it's one of my personal faves so I decided to place it here with the other images taken on the same day and only now posted.
A slow shutter (long exposure) was used to capture the heavy surf raging over the rocks near the California coastline.
Long-exposure photography or time-exposure photography involves using a long-duration shutter speed to sharply capture the stationary elements of images while blurring, smearing, or obscuring the moving elements. The paths of moving light sources become clearly visible.
When a scene includes both stationary and moving subjects (for example, a fixed street and moving cars or a camera within a car showing a fixed dashboard and moving scenery), a slow shutter speed can cause interesting effects, such as light trails.
Long exposures are easiest to accomplish in low-light conditions, but can be done in brighter light using neutral density filters or specially designed cameras.
