You may think you’re looking at some beautiful paintings of the sea, but these are actually long exposure pictures, taken by David Orias! Santa Barbara-based photographer allows us to see the kind of water formations that we couldn’t otherwise: David takes his photos at the break of dawn, when the sunlight creates the most unbelievable color palette’s that look like paint strokes on canvas.
The stunning photo series, titled Waves, were taken at the beaches of Southern California. “Southern California has its fire season and sometimes this creates conditions of eerie orange light in the morning as the sunlight is filtered and scattered by smoke particles. This creates unusual and to some viewers unrealistic colors. I take the baseline colors and work with them to create a fine art appeal,” says David.
David uses a telephoto lens, which, together with long exposure, allows him to capture a wide range of sea motion: the massive waves of the Californian beaches look alive and organic even in the static pictures. Makes you wanna pack your bags and get that plain ticket right now!

Hei, prieteni,
WRONG !…
Imaginile pe care le vedeti, a caror originalitate nu o contest, nu au nimic de a face cu “long exposure”. “Long exposure”, care tind sa cred ca nu se refera si nu are legatura “long focal length” sau telephoto lens, despre care se aminteste in comentariu, nu poate insemna decat “long time exposure”. Cand spunem “long time exposure” avem de a face cu timpi de expunere de multe, sau chiar foarte multe secunde. Va rog sa faceti un exercitiu de imaginatie, cum arata fotografia unui val, expus pret de cateva secunde?… Daca va uitati cu atentie, veti observa fara putinta de tagada ca avem de a face cu un “freeze motion”, ceea ce inseamna ca imaginile au fost facute cu un timp de expunere destul de scurt. David Orias, care ne vorbeste cu cuvintele sale, nu pomeneste nimic de “long exposure”. Insa, comentatorul, de dragul de a sublinia senzationalul acestor imagini, a dat-o frumos din condei cu “long exposure”. Pe Facebook, 500px, Ursuletul Panda si alte personaje din povesti da bine, insa aici, noi intre noi, mi-am permis sa dau adevarului o sansa. Va rog sa reconsiderati: “Short exposure…”
Va multumesc!
