You know I love to shoot crashing waves and colorful sunsets.

Both at once is over the top!

But even a flat sky, and low tide that sends only small waves toward rocks on the beach can be a good photo opportunity.

Here, I made a 6-second exposure in order to smooth even the small waves that were coming into a small pool around these rocks. It also took the sharp edges off the low clouds that were moving fast…and bringing rain.

I like the peacefulness of the shot.
