Happy New Year!
18 mm, 112 seconds, f/8.0 ISO 400
I was going to try the 2011 washed away leaving 2012 written in the sand, but it was night by the time I made it to the beach and the waves were very small with short intervals (not enough time to write the 2011, and shoot it in this light). All lighting is natural to Ocean Beach in New London, CT, where this was shot, and it is actually quite dark here, dark enough to need a flash light to set up the camera.
Let me know what you think of this shot, and/or ask any questions you may have!
Enjoy!
