Inspired. By Canon. ©William Neill Intuitive, Customizable Operation " This location is a favorite of mine. I love the contrasts between hard rocks and blurred motion of the surf. The mood is serene and the colors calming...My Canon camera makes it easy for me to work in tricky lighting conditions with its evaluative metering and instant feedback via the LCD preview with histogram. In this case, the camera got it right on the first exposure, even though this is a 20 second exposure on a tripod!"
