Went out last Saturday night and captured this image.
While there were still some technical aspects that I wasn't happy about with this photo, for the first time I felt that I started to capture the image that was in my head... In my mind that is a pretty big milestone.
I have shot this location before at dawn, but focused on the swirling waves.... this time I wanted the focus to be on the sky contrasting with the gorgeous pool sitting in the blur of the ocean.
I pretty much achieved my result..... at last..... shows that it does pay off to stick with it.
Got a few more images in my head that I'd like to take this full moon.... I just wish the damn clouds would play ball.... it's been crystal clear nights the last few.
Incidentally, this image was actually taken at dusk (15 min after sunset), with a 10stop ND filter on. Sure helps with the composition and focus when there is a bit of light around. I stopped down to f11 and almost 5min for this exposure.

This shot was taken at Newport pool on Sydney's Northern Beaches. I like Newport for night work because it's one of the few beaches with no sodium lights on it at night.
WOW thats a superb shot Brent, the POV is just spot on. Never tried anything like this myself (very long exposures)
Your work is amazing! Very inspiring.
