Attention: strong breeze!
27 
Taking this photo was an exciting challenge because the wind was blowing with a force of about 6 (40-50 km/h or 25-31 mph). I used a ND filter here to achieve an exposure time of a few seconds to capture the movement of the flag. When I set up the tripod I realized that it was vibrating a little bit because of the strong breeze. I wasn’t sure if the photos would get really sharp. But, it seems like it worked quite well. Thanks to Manfrotto! Great stuff!
Btw, the sand was moving very fast as well. After this shot my shoes were completely covered with sand. 
Great picture! And nice of you to tell how you did it
This is a wonderful shot! The colors are very nice, and laid out perfectly with the shapes within the image. I love the action on the flag, as well as the shadow that it casts on the ground creating more depth in the image. This is very well done. Also, as Riika points out, it was very nice to know how you did it. Great shot.
Cheers
It definitely worked very well.. Looks great!
Fabulous my friend.
I have wanted to create a shot like this for some time now. Wind moving mater, especially sand, over the course of a long exposure creates such a cool effect. I love the flag as a foreground piece as well.
Awesome shot!
Hi there.

Spectacular sense of motion! Simple yet complex. Great work.
I can almost feel the wind! The 90 degree angel between the flag and the shadow is very clever.
klasse foto, das licht gefällt mir sehr gut und der rote tupfer in der landschaft macht sich auch hervorragend ;o)
You did it! Cool shot:)
wonderfully vivid in dynamics and colors
sehr dynamisch – toller weiter Sandstrand und super Himmel. Wo ist das?

cool motion shot!
da musst du ja zusammen mit deiner Kamera gesandstrahlt worden sein. Doch das Foto ist es allemal wert. Kompliment!
this is wonderful. the red moving flag and the huge landscape. brilliant composed!
I really like this one – the color cast is just fantastic – great work..
Fantastic photography. And it reminds me to get a good wide angle lens as soon as possible.

bravo en tout cas pour cette photo!!!
Oh yeah, really cool idea. Good job and foresight to capture the flag using the long exposure. There’s a huge sense of motion throughout the photo as well, likely also due to the ND.
Yep. Nice job!!
Great images. I really love this one. Your photoblog will be a “go-to site” for me since now. I started my photoblog today. Hope you come visit! Bye!
awesome
Wow. I’m amazed at how sharp this image turned out to be. Those manfrotto tripods seem to cancel out the wind quite well. Awesome photo!
A wonderful composition ! perfect capture !
