A one second exposure captures the movement of the waves on this windy and stormy day earlier this month.
The long exposure was possible due to the
10-stop ND filter
I had screwed to the front of my
Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens.
The 10-stop ND filter is really just an expensive piece of dark glass that only allows a small amount of light to get through, thus allowing longer exposure photos, even in broad daylight.
On this particular afternoon, the wind was really blowing (much too strong for my kite aerial photography rig), and the waves were crashing over the rocks. The longer exposure allowed me to capture some of the movement of the water and waves.

Nice photo with a distinct 'mood' to it. Just wondering why you only used f/8. Did you want the water/waves to still look reasonably 'frozen' as opposed to milky and smooth? Anyway, not a criticism....just a question for you. I enjoy looking at your shots.
