“In this ancient ritual that predates the dinosaurs, thousands of horseshoe crabs emerge from the water to spawn in the pre-dawn light. The timing of the moon cycle, tides, sunrise, and weather, are important elements in making this photo possible. I took three exposures, then blended them to emulate a three-stop graduate filter.”
Canon EOS 5D; 17mm lens; digital capture.
