This shot was very tough for me to take. First off, the area had people very spread out which allowed me to shoot under the pier almost completely by myself. I also ended up taking almost 300 photos during this shoot. I loved the intensity of the waves slamming under the far pillars and capturing them during their explosion was tough. The waves at my feet were flowing in and out at a much slower rate which contributed to the silkiness even though this was a relatively fast exposure. Exposing the sun properly while capturing the highlights in the waves was driving me nuts. I love moments like this that push my technical skills and creativity all in the pursuit of taking the perfect photograph at any given moment.
