these are some beautiful photos. i’ve been doing a couple of long exposure beach photo’s myself, though nowhere near as nice as these. do you use a dark filter to shoot when there’s still light as this is the thing i find most difficult?

  Hi James,
  Yes I find it necessary to use filters on the front of the lens in order to get the long exposure times required.
  In the case of these shots I had an ND8 filter and also a polarizing filter screwed on the front.
  
  Cheers, Jim.

  Hi Rohit, the lens used for the seascape shots is the Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC.
  The camera is a Canon 40D, although I think the brand of camera is not so important these days. The top manufacturers all do a fine job producing excellent machines.

    I understand. But lenses do matter. The lens you have used do I guess is a very good one.
    
    Have you uploaded your pics of flickr or anything like that? Could you provide me the link?
    
    Thanks

    Hi Rohit,
    The Sigma lens is not an expensive one.
    It can be bought here in Australia for under $700 at a retail store.
    
    The Flickr address you requested is as follows –

    Note that I only upload low resolution versions there because I would prefer people to buy the high resolution prints through my RedBubble site at http://pixelmuser.redbubble.com/
    
    Cheers, Jim.

Breathtaking! I would sooo love to visit this place. The scenery alone would provide an astounding amount of inspiration for a writer such as myself. Amazing and very impressive!

seems like “the clouds” / las nubes, if i’m not mistaken. I remember keanu reeves in his movie, nature is beautiful, God’s creation, too.

Breathtaking! It doesn’t matter how they turned out, what matters is how they affect the viewer; they fill me with peace. Love them.
