This was a bit of an experiment that turned out better than I expected. I took a walk along the beach around 23:00 today and tried to take some photos of the post-sunset sky reflecting in the water. Ideally I would have had a tripod to get a slightly higher view for a better composition, but I settled for balancing on some rocks. A 20 sec exposure followed by some B+W emulation in Photoshop yielded the result you see.
Very nice - the water pattern around the
rocks with such a long exposure is excellent.
How did you do the conversion to BW? Just
desaturating? Or using special via-LAB
process?

It's a bit funkier that that. I currently
did it quick and dirty using something akin
to these Photoshop actions. Eventually, I'd like to actually measure
the response curves of my camera, and the
film/paper developed different ways and be
able to remap the absolute light values I can
derive from my camera to simulate how the
film would react. Some projects in progress
I'll write up when more complete.

Ideally the water could have been choppier.
In my opinion, 1 foot waves yield the best
results. The English Bay is a little too
calm. Next time I'm out on Vancouver Island
I'll definitely give it another try.

Thanks. Even though it was 11pm, it was
still too bright out. The sky had some
clouds and if I had waited another hour or so
it would have had some more detail.

I'd actually prefer if you didn't. It's one
of my favorite images and I'd like to have
dibs on it for my own blog background at some
point in the future. Sorry.
