Botany Bay

/0 Comments/in /by

Located on Edisto Island, South Carolina – Botany Bay Plantation offers access to a portion of the beach that was once a forest of large trees. The trees are dead, but the many remains litter the beach. This is one of the most photographed trees on the beach.

This is a long exposure, captured shortly after sunrise with a neutral density filter. I will have more photos of some of the other trees soon!

These photos are pretty fun to attempt. You’re never really sure how they will turn out and occasionally you end up with a beautiful piece of art. See the bottom of this post for more info on the technique used.

 

Here are a couple of my most recent attempts:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a couple of older favorites as well:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The technique used to create these is pretty simple. Set the shutter to a fairly slow speed (0″3, 0″6, 1/6, 1/8 etc) and pan the camera when shooting. Practice with different shutter speeds, different panning speeds, panning directions, and of course different subjects until you get something you like.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

This Week at the Lake – 34/52

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , /by

This week is all about the fall color at Radnor Lake. I’d say the color has peaked this week. There is mostly yellow, but also some bright reds and deep oranges. It’s a beautiful time to be walking the trails…

A couple more shots I wanted to share that don’t have to do with the fall color:
This is a single exposure (30 sec) with a Graduated neutral density filter. Not something I do often but wanted to try it “non-hdr”.

Also, a couple black and whites that don’t fit with the “Fall Color” theme:

And that’s it for the week!

Thanks for looking!
