Description
Slow Motion IIPinnacle Rock, Phillip Island, Victoria
The last light of the sun pushes through a break in the clouds on the horizon whilst tumultuous waves are dissolved into a fine mist.

A revisit to the same place I shot 'Slow Motion'

I really wasn't happy with that first shot - there were next to no clouds, and the perspective was too flat because the water was far too choppy for me to go down, so I decided to revisit Pinnacle Rock.
This time, the results were much better - the water was very calm, enough for me to get down close to the water. Not having to worry about spray and wiping the lens was a bonus too.
This is a blend of exposures. The 30s exposure on the water overexposed the sky pretty badly even with the stacked Grad NDs so I took a seperate, shorter exposure and blended it in to bring back detail in the sky.

I may have to head down that way soon. I have always liked the mouth of the Powlett River towards Wonthaggi, but have never taken a camera.

Absolutely stunning shot! Exposure is pretty much perfect and the composition lovely. I love the light how it makes those foreground rocks glow

great job for the blend did you use a tripod ? to keep the shot in the same place?

That was my original plan, however the tide was slowing pulling out lower and lower... so I had to spend a little bit more time fixing it up in post

Is the exposure on the rocks (in the foreground particularly) the 30 seconds or the shorter one?
Amazing shot. I hope to find a location like this one day to shoot.

Yea the misty water is the 30s exposure, the sky was less, something like 3s. Glad you like it!
I'm sure there's heaps of places in your area, but you do have to travel alot further than me to reach the coast
