Long exposure during a Sahara dust storm!

Hello photo lovers,

I worked hard all day editing these pictures! I ended up with 75 pictures of this "sunset".
It wasn't that nice of a sunset but a very special one. There was a lot of Sahara dust blowing from Africa to the coast of Spain!

And to make the pictures a bit better I wanted to do some long exposure photography! I wanted to get a nice movement in the water! Wanted to see if I could capture the flow of the water!

But first I took a normal picture because I wanted to capture those two fisherman standing on the breakwater!

There are not many rocks on this part of the coast but we don't have rocks at the sea in the Netherlands at all! So I was happy with them!

I took all these pictures on ISO 100 and F22! The suhtter speed came out to a 0,6 and 0,8 seconds!
I think it's a sweet spot for me! Maybe it could be a bit less because some times the water is to withe!

Like the wave above here and the splash around the rocks in the picture below here!

I just need to practice more!

I love the color of the sky! It was very dusty! And Every think was covered in a layers of yellowish mud-dust!

Your photos really got the unique atmosphere of the Sahara dust storm brother. The long exposure effect on the water adds a nice touch. All I can say is keep practicing, your dedication is certainly paying off

Those are some great long exposures! I would definitely be fun to play around with water like that. Cool that the dust came all the way to Spain.

Thank you, it simetime also comes all the way to the Netherlans, but then not so thick as this

That is interesting. We get some dust storms in Arizona, we call them monsoons. There was a little one last night as I was driving home. Sometimes they are very severe and dangerous if you are driving. I was just going through some old pictures (2012) and found this picture I got of a dust storm from the plane as we were taking off.

Wooooo no way 😳🤯 that's amazing 🥰🥰🥰
