Half a Star

Half a Star

Uploaded: November 17, 2004

Description

I wanted to photograph the entire starfish, but it was at the bottom of the rock and partially in the sand. Since the assignment was motion blur I opted to shoot the water and half a star.

.7 sec, f/27, 135 mm, ISO 100

Many thanks, Laurence. Getting cold, wet and sandy was worth it. Happy Holidays! #981741
