Cheers.. In hindsight though I should have got closer to the water and made the breaking waves more of a feature. Next time.

Finally the gales have subsided and I got a chance to go play with the 10 stop. Here's the very first attempts with it all shot between about 8:45 and 9:30am.

It's a wee bit of a steep learning curve. There is a blue colour cast so I'm going to have to load some custom white balances into my camera. And it's just as well my iPhone has a calculator to work out the exposure length!

And what about actually seeing through the thing to focus :ib:

Not a chance to see through it at all!! My workflow is to spot meter the scene to get an initial idea of exposure without the filter. Then compose and focus, slot in the filter, calculate the exposure time (1024 times the without filter shot) and then fire off the shot.
