Trying something New: Weathering the Storm

So I have decided to try to post at least 1 picture a week this summer to get some consistent movement on the blog. So here is the first shot:
Weathering the Storm
This is from Top Sail beach in NC. The storm was out to sea and really framing the bird on the long strut of an old pier. I tried a bit of a time lapse to get a smooth ocean. I loved the colors.
Location: Top Sail Beach, NC
Stats: f/22, ISO 100, 8 seconds.
Your photography is a visual marvel. Love it!
