We spent a few days of my son's spring break at the beach back in march. It was a nice trip but it wasn't exactly beach weather, a little cold but it was still a fun trip.
The shots of the pier were from the morning that I was ambitious enough to get up and out the door before sunrise. For the night shot of the stars I tried every night we were there to get a shot but most nights there was to much cloud cover.
All of these were taken with the 6D and the 17-40mm lens.
17mm, f/4, 30 sec, ISO 1600.
25mm, f/4, 1.6 sec, ISO 100.
24mm, f/8, 7 shot HDR at 2 EV spacing.
