  This is stunning, David. I'd also like to know your length of exposure - it's perfect for this soft, ethereal appearance to the water.

  Wow, thanks for all the positive comments, and on my first posting! This was my second attempt at this sort of shot. The first included lots of sky which became a bit blown out. The exposure was 30 seconds. It was taken about 30 minutes after sunset on a pretty clear day. The sea was particularly rough at the time, even though these long exposures make it look calm and peaceful. I used a small aperture and a polariser to maximise exposure time. The intense blue comes from a combination of evening light, a long exposure on Velvia film, and a bit of digital tweaking after scanning the slide.

  David, I'm a high school band director in Saluda, SC. I am interested in maybe using this photo in our next year's marching band show as a backdrop. Is this possible? How do I go about doing this?
