Attention: strong breeze! | Sunday Sep 16, 2007
Taking this photo was an exciting challenge because the wind was blowing with a force of about 6 (40-50 km/h or 25-31 mph). I used a ND filter here to achieve an exposure time of a few seconds to capture the movement of the flag. When I set up the tripod I realized that it was vibrating a little bit because of the strong breeze. I wasn't sure if the photos would get really sharp. But, it seems like it worked quite well. Thanks to Manfrotto! Great stuff!
Btw, the sand was moving very fast as well. After this shot my shoes were completely covered with sand. :)

I have wanted to create a shot like this for some time now. Wind moving mater, especially sand, over the course of a long exposure creates such a cool effect. I love the flag as a foreground piece as well.
Awesome shot!
