A couple beach shots

I've been experimenting with semi-long exposures hand held to get purposefully blurry pictures, which you can see below.

But first, the pretty girl....







There's another shot from today at my 365 website here if you're interested.

Hi there - she is indeed a very pretty girl ... your wave photos are neat ... very nice

Lovely shots....did you use any processing on the waves? They look so soft.

Great shots, I love the soft look of the waves and the B&W

Awesome shots. My fave would have to be the "pretty girl". TFS.

O.o just check this after a few days, thanks for the feedback guys!

I processed all three pictures in pretty much the same way, but the softness in the waves is just from the length of the expsure, which was about 1/3 to 1/2 of a second for the wave shots (handheld) if I remember correctly.

this method does work with this subject since the ocean is so frothy and full of movement....blur is the name of the game here
