My first shots of 2011 were a little depressing. I didn't make it to the coast in time for magic hour, and the sun had dipped behind the horizon by the time I made it out onto the rocks.
Since it was really gloomy, I turned the camera inland and tried out a large(ish) aperture long exposure shot, just to see what it would look like - never seen one before. This was the only decent shot I got before it got completely dark.
The result is interesting: The shallow f/2.0 gives back a little depth that the dwindling sun had all but drained away, and the long exposure really pops the colour out in the sky, as usual. Not great, but worth hanging on to.
