I went back to Ventry Beach today: the water was like glass, and even tough the day was flat and very overcast, the pier was reflected in the water, and the fisherman was standing very still, thus enabling a longer exposure.
A late finish at work tonight, and no moon, so I drove as far as Ventry beach and took my chances. Due to some sorry packing I'm limited to a 30 second exposure at a high ISO, but it worked well, giving the water a nice shimmer.
Quicker out of the blocks is definitely the way forward. And seeing as I am unexpectedly heading home tonight I thought it only fitting to make an extra effort for today's pic. Sometimes you have an idea of what a photograph will look like in advance, but it rarely works out so well. However, today on Ventry Beach I got almost exactly the image I wanted, and now I can go home happy.
