I made this image last Thursday evening. I went out there with another image in mind but a very stiff north wind blew that one. I found a sheltered spot and made this image. This jetty was built to keep a narrow pass open where the tidal currents are wicked strong. The rocks are encased in massive wood beams and concrete pilings, otherwise the rocks would just float away. This is a conversion from a Velvia 100F color slide and is a six-minute exposure. The color one came out perfect but I think the B&W has more impact. I\'m very pleased that I am able to nail these exposures now in rapidly changing evening light. The original exposure measured 4-minutes. I kept measuring during the exposure and adjusted it to six minutes to compensate for the dwindling light and reciprocity failure. Can\'t do that with a built in meter on an SLR!
