The stunning cliffs at Etretat, Normandy. 24 seconds of exposure at sunset with my Hasselblad X1D II, Hasselblad XCD 30mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters.

Beautiful colours and long exposure image Vieri. We loved to visit that coastline when we worked in the Mayenne.

Absolutely stunning, Vieri. The long exposure has lent this scene an almost otherworldly feel. It's wonderfully smooth and sharp at the same time and the colors in the clouds are magnificent. I visited these beaches last summer!

Nice imaging Vieri. I would think that 24 seconds would yield the ocean surface much softer and without that wave being seen. Not that I think it would be better, I like this.

Not everyone does. They are crepuscular rays.

I didn't say "everybody", Jeffrey. You are obviously not in the "we" I was referring to. The "we" I was referring to is my group of friends.

Hey Amy, thank you very much for your comment, that is truly much appreciated, I am glad you enjoyed it!

Hello Jeffrey, thank you very much, I am glad you liked it! I tried different exposures, and I thought that this resulted in the best compromise between smoothing the sea and retaining some detail in the waves.

Best regards,

Vieri
