Seascapes, near Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia

Canon 30D, 18-55 kit lens, ISO: 100, aperture: f/4.5, shutter: 60 seconds, filter: R72, tripod: yes

This was a rather uninspiring day (at least for me) at the beach; mid-day, overcast early with a few passing clouds later in the day…  Time to pull out the tripod and R72 filter.  The R72 makes for long exposures so does wonders for adding interest to moving water and clouds.  The filter is very dark so auto focus is impossible.  Don’t forget to manually focus before touching off the shutter.  The images were desaturated in Photoshop and a modest tone curve was applied.  My only regret is that I don’t get uninspired more often.
