[Scotland 2017] Rocky Beach in the Evening, Isle of Eigg #3
When I shoot seascapes I usually use moderate shutter speed - from 1/10-th of the second to 3-4 seconds. Such shutter speed allows you to smooth the waves a bit but also keep texture in the water and show motion and energy of the sea. In most cases I avoid very long shutter speed when shooting the sea, because the result look more like a fog or milkshake and I don't like it.
But in some cases very long exposure can show you very interesting and exciting results. In this photo from Isle of Eigg I used tremendously long exposure of 241 seconds. Even after sunset I had to use ND 10-stop filter to achieve such a long exposure. Although sea waves had blurred into the mist this image still have a lot of energy and motion because of the harsh texture and shape of the foreground rocks. Fast moving clouds in the sky also add more energy and tension to this scene.

With the use of the ND10 stop filter, you managed to get an excellent photo with exceptional sharpness on the rocks. It's just that the photo is so beautiful that you could even watch it at home on the wall
@postar13 Thank you!
Great shot!
What is the height of where you took the photo?
@chorock I was standing on the ridge which goes into the sea, camera was about 1.5 meters above the sea level

241 seconds is a very time-consuming energy but paid off with amazing work. Keep working @ansharphoto and Best Regards...

@crazy-andy Thank you!
very nice long exposure - it's pretty awesome that your camera goes below iso 100. I also need to invest in a better ND filter. cheers, following.
