Description As I drove home from work, I could see the wave upon wave of clouds rolling over the mountains. I though this was my chance to get a long exposure with my 10 stop ND of rolling clouds over the Kogel Bay mountains. Unfortunately the light on the mountains were quite disappointing. The wind was howling, and my legs are raw from sand burn, but at least it did add an extra element to some of the shots, like this one. Stock standard comp, but for me the strength of the wind is also captured.

Beautiful capture man! I've always wanted to capture the wind on the sand, very nicely done. May I ask what settings to capture the wind?

Thanks Drew. This was a blend, but the foreground shot was 1/50 second.
