Blue Hour Composition

Let's start the week off with a calm moment.

This photograph was made during the blue hour before dawn in a hard blowing wind.  In the presence of all that turbulence the surface of the water was chaotic and this pattern of rocks was lost in the texture.  But a good long patient exposure of five seconds was enough to clarify the moment.  Maybe this is a lesson that can be applied somewhere else.

For the first time on this blog, I'm making an image available as a free wallpaper.  Maybe I will do this on a regularly scheduled basis.  The above photograph can be downloaded here, sized 2530x1600 so it'll fit anything you want it to, enjoy.
