We've all probably seen long exposure images of the sea which smooth out all the waves to a blur. On this occasion I didn't have all the necessary equipment to attempt something like that, so I was experimenting. How long an exposure could I take, hand-held, on a bright sunny day? About 1/10 second, as it turned out. And what would a wave look like at different exposures? This is my favourite image from that session. Taken just as the wave broke, the spray looks like a firework explosion onto the beach.
Treatment in Lightroom included Fill light, high Clarity, and increasing the contrast in the spray by careful Tone curve settings.
