For this image the camera was tripod mounted and a long shutter speed of 6 seconds used, as this allowed for smooth "motion" to be captured in the ocean and for a "mist like" appearance where the waves moved over the rocks. The image was shot in RAW format and processed in Capture One. Further enhancements to contrast and saturation where carried out in Photoshop using various techniques.
A Lee 3 Stop Hard Graduated Neutral Density Filter and a Lee 3 Stop Soft Graduated Neutral Density Filter were used at the time of capture, as these helped to balance the lighting and provide a vignette effect.
