Self Portrait

Crescent Bay Beach
Laguna Beach, California

from a series of long exposures using my B+W 1.8 ND filter and an ocean sunset .. (there are a couple more over on my TE account.

I am so sorry for not being around for the last month .. Life has been nuts .. and scary ... but at least I had a few days of rest with my wife in Southern California ..

What a pale color! It's an impressive relax mood!
I like that desert tranquility! Hope you take your time to relax! This is practically magic! The 15 sec long expo make its hard to separate the limit between sand and water :)
Great shot!

Hi John, unusual but it looks nice and interesting.
The lightness is wonderful.
Welcome back.
