"Layers" | Long exposure waterscape | Wide angle | ND filters

"Layers" | Costa Vicentina, Portugal

"A cold and threatening end of afternon, where every path converges into the fearful sun, which silently dissapears beyond the horizon. The earth finally reveals itself in the low tide, stripping it's layers and stripping ourselves, showing us where we came from and where we are headed to, during the dance of the elements that announce the coming night."

HI Josè, a common landscape this one but shot with your usual skillness, I love the blue light, not so muche the motion in the clouds, but it's a matter of personal taste. Anyway a beautiful picture!

Very Nice!

Nice work, Jose!

Excellent result. A couple of questions from me:

1. Did you use one filter on top of the other? Which was on top?

2. Did you use a single focus point and if so, where exactly did you focus in order to achieve tack-sharp results? (the known 1/3 of the distance?). Maybe reposting the image with a pointing arrow would help.

Thanks
