Nights in Rodanthe
This is a long exposure of the Serendipity, better known as ”Nights in Rodanthe house”, before it was moved a couple years ago. I was on my way to Buxton for the night and stopped to shoot a few images at Mirlo Beach because the full moon was so bright. The surf was pumping and I remember mindsurfing these amazing waves while I was shooting the long exposures. It was kinda late in the evening and during the offseason so it was eerily calm and quiet…zero humans anywhere. I’d taken a few photos without any vehicles passing during the exposure and they came out OK. Then a couple DOT trucks showed up to work on the dune at S Turns and passed during one of the exposures. I liked the image much better with the streaks of light from the trucks because it added warmth and color, so I waited to start the next few exposures when the DOT trucks were driving past. Here is one of the frames. Good thing they moved the house cause Irene would’ve swept it away.
