Mystery Night
by Kevin McNeal
This was taken at Phieffer Beach along the Big Sur coastline that I recently vacationed at. I was not met with the best of weather conditions so this is what I choose to do to make something out of nothing. Cannot wait to go back when there is sun!!!
30 second exposure and f/16 ISO 200
Equipment: Canon 5D 17-40L Tripod

  5. Anurag Says:

    Very unusual. Though lack of any detail in the lower part of the image makes it look a bit flat.

  6. Anurag Says:

    Visited Your website. Most Impressive.

    I recommend all of us to have a look.

  7. Ahmed Ibrahim Says:

    Nice shot and the ambiguous give it some scary effects, also the mountains are very clear, and the colour seem like monochrome

  8. Ahmed Sharif Says:

    That certainly looks mysterious!!…….. nice long exposure!

  9. Malta Photography Malta Photography Says:

    Very nice effect. So simple but so effective.

  10. Pauline Jones Pauline Jones Says:

    A bit dull for my tastes but I like the rock at the end; it looks like some giant creature that is about to awaken.

  11. Leslie Says:

    An interesting and dramatic photo. Too much critism from others. A unique opportunity with
    inclement weather and fog to look at a place
    that is most likely sunny 90% of the time.

  12. Edwina Hinkle Says:

    I loved the fact that when I first saw the shot I thought it was the mountains and then could laugh at myself to find out it was on the beach. Love that rocky coastline!!

  13. John harrison Says:

    Great job on putting this together and capturing this. Having been with you on the trip and knowing the weather wasn’t cooperating, you made a nice composition out of this! Nice leading angles, mysterious with great textures!

    Keep it up! Looking forward to the next one.

  14. Joao Says:

    Nice when a little bit of work pays off.
    Great job.

  15. Dennis Says:

    Living in Washington we learn to deal with the weather. This is a very interesting shot that took advantage of the weather situation.

  16. Tom Says:

    When all you have is lemons, make lemonade. Nice shot.

    Lovely. Nice composition. Needs a subject, a bird or something. Gives a good feeling.

  20. Sue Gagnon Says:

    Excellent work on this vision. Enchanting! :)

  21. Pieter -sAner- van der Horst Pieter -sAner- van der Horst Says:

    Mysterious yes. Beautiful too, but there is a little too much white in the picture for my liking.

  22. Jacob Maentz Jacob Maentz Says:
