On the beachfront border of Florida/Alabama line is the Perdido Pass where yachts and chartered boats come in and out to sea. At the pass is a long row of massive rocks where people fish or catch bait for deep sea fishing. I walked out on these rocks around 4:45 a.m. to catch a few night shots and the sunrise. Well, it was really overcast, so I didn't catch much of a sunrise. But I did get a few shots like this that I like. The water looks like glass, but the waves where crashing like usual. Neat thing is when you shoot long exposure (this one was 68 seconds), the waves' motion is too fast to be recorded due to the lack of light. Therefore the glass-like effect. Neato. Oh, and before I forget, I have uploaded nearly 50 images this week on Flickr. I am trying to get more disciplined in posting images regularly. To view my Flickr page, go here.
