Leo Carrillo SB Coastline

Wild Coastal Seascape at Leo Carrillo State Beach, Malibu, California Wild Coastal Seascape at Leo Carrillo State Beach, Malibu, California

Water is the one subject that I never tire of photographing. It was a struggle to get sharp pictures of this scene because it was really windy combined with the long exposures. Since I don't have a cable release my options were to use my usual 10 second timer which wouldn't have worked in a situation like this were I needed precise timing, or to trip the shutter with my hands. Opting for the latter, I used "burst mode" at 0.8 sec to ensure that I got some usable frames. This was my favorite frame from this sequence and sharp I might add. My 2nd favorite was slightly blurry however.

Wow, that is gorgeous! I'm not a very good photographer, but I know how hard it is to get anything good when it's windy.

Thanks Gary. Yeah I need to work on securing a release. I never got one because I've been nervous of breaking or losing it. That white thing is the lifeguard station.
