Taming the Sea

Long exposures are amazing! I use them all the time in my landscape photography. I find that long exposures help create mood and feeling in images. Due to the fact that I shoot a lot of my photographs before sunrise or after sunset I am forced to use long exposures. The image shown here is a 15 second exposure. While the sea was rough and wild that morning, the long exposure smoothed out the scene and calmed the troubled waters. It created an almost mist-like looking photograph. Instead of a snapshot looking image where you see every drop of water and the rough waves, a long exposure seemed to calm the sea.
