Turmoil of the Sea

Mmmm, long exposures. So many cool things can happen when you point your camera at something cool and just leave the shutter open for a while. I've long admired the ghostly looking water in other people's images, so when I saw this view from the balcony of my hotel room, I had to give it a try.

There's lots of trial and error that goes into getting an image like this. The exposure here was about 4 seconds, and I waited until a big wave crashed on the rock in the middle. I took about 10 other shots that were pretty blah, but it all came together on this one. Experiment. You might come up with something cool!
