Tuco, many thanks for posting those gems here. I've tried (unsuccessfully) to follow some of your more technical posts (which says more about me than the posts; my dad had a quote from one of his philosophy profs in college who said "If you take a book and rap it against your head as hard as you possibly can, it's not necessarily the book that sounds hollow"). It's beyond impressive to see the theory in practical application. Bravo and thank you for the inspiration.

Best,
Kevin

Looking forward to getting much better at this

These last two are very good

As I've said earlier, I really like your stuff. And thanks for info regarding the shot.
Is it spray from the waves that created the mist ?

Yes, the waves. These long exposures are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. A story behind that shot was I was just going for a 2min exposure. During that time a sneaker wave came in and hit me up to my knees, soaked me inside my shoes and moved the tripod even though I held it. So I reset for a 1 min exposure so I could get out of there before it happen again. So after this sneaker wave, they didn't come in as far during that 60 seconds except for the last 10ish seconds a wave came in and consequently didn't get recorded much and gave that mist look.

If the waves would have came in steady and I did get the original 2min exposure, the waves may have looked like this taken the same day, same place, same rock but different angle. Note I report my ND filters by their density (9 stops X 0.3 = 2.7). And additional info for those other 67 shooters is I used a waist level finder and a one-degree, Pentax Spotmeter V.
