I've got the Blues

Paul, Jay, and I were playing with slow shutter speeds at Bahia Honda in Florida. We stacked ND filters and circular polarizers to see if we could get this effect. I'm happy with the result. The blue storm clouds compliment the turquoise water... and I love the mossy stones. For this shot, I stacked two 3-stop ND filters, and used a 10 second shutter speed at f/11. The others got some really nice shots too. (The working title for this shot is "I've got the Blues", but it may change if Paul uses it for his... it was his idea, so he has first dibs... gotta give credit where it's due.)

Thanks for joining us, Paul! We had a great time!

Florida

We were stuck in the airport for most of the day yesterday. We finally arrived at our hotel at about 1am. We asked for a 4:45am wake-up call and went straight to bed. We never did get the wake-up call, but we woke up anyway and went out to shoot the sunrise. We met up with Paul Marcellini (check out his work - it's beautiful!), and did some shooting in the everglades. Paul knows the area like the back of his hand, so it was great to be out there with him. We'll probably meet up with him again on Sunday.

We're headed out to check out some trails. :)
