Waves of Marshalls Beach

Waves of Marshalls Beach

A BPer from Florida, Kathy Cline came to San Francisco. Exactly one year ago, Kathy, Ann Przyojski and I were shooting on this beach. Kathy wanted to revisit here. We had to pass through rough rocks and a bunch of men in their birthday suit. I admire her courage.

Location: Marshalls Beach, San Francisco

This photo is amazing! Lines, depth, compositon, color, exposure...it's all great. I think I would have given it just a very slightly longer exposure to smooth the water out a bit more, but that is about it.

Beautiful job!

You must have had such a fun day. This is an amazing image. I haven't any idea how you did it, but I'm gasping for breath (figuratively)!

Thank you Dustin, Michelle and Kathy for your great comments!

Dustin: Thank you for your advise. I try slower shutter speed next time.

Michelle: I was shooting with a low angle standing in the water. Boots are must.

Kathy: Hope you enjoyed shooting at the SF zoo.
