Muizenberg, Cape Town : Pillar and wave

Pillar and wave

I was testing my Pentax K10d 's image stabilizer with this picture - never used this feature before.

Anyways; of the below that I am most impressed about is the zoom and the shutter speed.
ISO - 100
Zoom - 230mm
F-stop - f11
Shutter - 1/50 sec

I do fear though that this is all I will be doing for the next few weeks, i.e. low shutter speed shots.
