    Dry ice not sea

    Is there bad weather? Can't see it for the ND10 filter, I'm afraid.

    Thanks for the feedback. A little background. The weather was overcast the sea darkening. I had looked at taking a shorter shutter speed, around to 1-2 seconds to create a little motion in the waves and the sharpness of the rocks. However, given the darkening clouds, water and rocks it was all to heavy, hard to distinguish between rocks sea and cloud. The long exposure was intended to create a dry ice look. A sense of mystery as to what may be out there, sinister even but equally, to help make the rocks take centre stage. With the pale sea, the foreground rocks lead the eye towards split rock before continuing out to sea. Rather than taking a shot of reality I wanted to fire the imagination of the viewer. Whether this works or not is another thing of course :-) and you shouldn't be afraid to say when something doesn't work for you ;-)
