Onsakervika is popular beach during summer. If we leave the beach and walk about a hundred meters to the right we find this tree that spends its last days resting on the sandy ground. Once upon a time it most likely was a proud, strong tree reigning the woods. How it ended here is a mystery. Perhaps the spring flood brought it all the way and gently unloaded the tree before it continued its flow towards the ocean? Any which way, the tree is a most welcome foreground against a beautiful sunset.
The 241 secs long exposure was achieved with the help of the Lee Big Stopper. A 0.9 ND soft was used to balance the scene. Otherwise: 17mm f-9 iso 100. The image is processed in Topaz Clarity (one of the presets really made the image pop), Photoshop (high values of the High Pass filter was masked in the foreground to bring out more texture in the water) and Lightroom (my preferred fine tuning option).
I chose to name the image a last honor as a way of paying a last tribute to this once majestic tree.
