For years now during my Newfoundland seabirds workshop I've always taken a similar photo like this. In the past however I've always just shoved my camera into a rock crack and done my best to hold it still while I took a long exposure with the aperture cranked up to F-who-knows-what to get the longer exposure. This year however I came prepared. I brought out a tripod and a variable ND filter and I was able to take this version with a 5 second long exposure, at least double what I've done in the past. I was also able to shoot at a normal aperture that wasn't ruining the sharpness of the photo. So here I present the an image that is exactly what I've been after for years but only finally captured properly. I love what the waves do on the rocks below and how still many of these Common Murre stay during a 5 second exposure!
