Wet sand and partly cloudy skies are a good combination for a nice photograph. Time of day is another important consideration. Often, the best lighting is when most people are sleeping or eating. Dawn and dusk are not only the best times for lighting, but wildlife is most active too. During mid day this beach was busy with beachcombers, but by 8pm everyone had gone back to camp. To get the best shots photographers usually sacrifice a ‘normal’ schedule to be in position for the best light.
aperture: f/16, shutter: 0.8 seconds, filter: 2 stop soft edge ND, tripod: yes
By 8:30 the lighting here was just amazing. We ate dinner by flashlight this night…

I think we’re all concerned about piracy of our detailed photographs, but it’s hard for me to appreciate your pictures when they are so small (especially the second one here). Could you make them larger?

Hello Steve, thanks for visiting the blog and for your comment. The photo you refer to is now linked to a larger version. I do struggle with the piracy issue, especially with photos that have had some commercial success.
Best regards, KC
What a difference an enlargement makes: thanks. Now I can appreciate the details of your excellent picture.
Amazing shot !!!!!!
