Camera: Nikon D90
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR
Location: Cronulla NSW Australia
Date: Mar 5, 2010
Aperture: 25
ISO: 200
Shutter: 0.6
Galleries: Emotive, Seascapes
Date Uploaded: Mar 6, 2010

 Taken while walking to take some shots at dusk (you know arrive early) so I was experimenting with some long exposure handhelds with a ND8 on the front of the lens, this was the best of the lot.

This type of shot has been done before (what hasnt?) for example James Knight-Smith in the latest issue of Silvershotz, the only slight difference is in that you can kinda make out the figure of a seagull.

5 - I like the potential, but composition seems lacking, along with borderline definition (more or less).
