my long exposure attempt....

... isn't a pinch of salt on Laura's. This really was my first attempt and I didn't have the filter to capture the full impact of the 'milked out' sea or the midnight blue of the sky. But at least I now have a yard stick to measure my next attempt by.

this was taken 49mins after sunset, shutter speed of 5 seconds at f9 on iso 200 with spot metering. Some sharpening and curve adjustment in Camera Raw with slight colour saturation.
