Yesterday I posted a cormorant up on the cliffs at El Matador State Beach in Malibu. Here’s a shot from down below at the water line. You can actually see two more cormorants perched on the distant rock to the right. I used a tripod and a two second exposure to blur the movement of the incoming waves as they circled the foreground rocks. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 50, f/20 at 2 seconds

Great use of slow shutter speed and beautiful light.
Thanks Rick. Always fun to play with shutter speeds, be it flowing water or running hyenas.
Exquisite…..
Thanks Hope.
…where I’d like to be right now. Beautiful
Me too Liz. Trip was way too short.

Stunning
Love this shot Sean.
I love this
Trying to find words not used, but just coming up with stunning and exquisite!
Thanks Rachel. It is a beautiful spot.
Stellar use of a long exposure setting. Remarkable that the cormorants held still long enough so they could still be identified in the distance.
Yeah, the cormorants were quite cooperative. I took a few more with my long lens zoomed in on them.
Beautiful!
hopefully When i get window ten install I will be able to see your pic. thanks mike
