Beautiful capture in this one. I love how these longer exposures bring out detail, and sometimes blur other detail, to give such a mood to a photo. I found this by way of this news article BTW [link]

Absolutely striking and astounding how you captured the mist and the tones around the wreck, not to mention how sweet it is that the wreck actually breaks the water. Def deserved DailyDev!

Great comment, thanks.. love your name by the way.. is there a story behind it?

Any time. I can't wait to see the progression of your works and your style in the future. There isn't really a name behind it, just a inside joke. Its been my Screen name for a really long time though, so there have been many a joke about it. Any way, hope to talk to ya soon.

Peace Easy,
Dave

Umm, no ice in Queensland Australia.. home of the Gold Coast.. (think Miami for a similar climate).

It's a long exposure, capturing the movement of the water.

I really love the colors, they look amazing. And it the wreck makes me think of some sort of oceanic venus fly trap opening its jaws just above the surface.

orange-peel-eater [2008-12-18 04:08:43 +0000 UTC]

This is really impressive! Congrats on the DD. But how big is that shipwreck actually? I have not concept of its size looking at it (mostly because the ocean lacks surface masses that you measure against.)

paulmp In reply to orange-peel-eater [2008-12-18 04:20:05 +0000 UTC]

The bars are a bit above waist high.. maybe around 3.5 feet tall..
