Findhorn beach at dusk (40)

Today I realised that I didn't actually had a chance yet to capture the sea with long exposure. As I now live only 10 minutes drive from the sea I thought it will be good idea to go and practice it. The nearest beach from where I live is the one in Findhorn, small port and village just by the sea.
I was hoping for some nice sunset shots but it wasn't very interesting nor colourful today so I focused on capturing the water and clouds.
Thanks to the clouds it was dark enough to use long exposures but not too dark to fade all the colours out. I experimented with CPL filter as well, reducing reflections and darkening the sky.
Exposure of 15 seconds blurred the long high tide waves as well as the moving clouds, it was quite windy so they passed pretty quick.
I used RAW mode, tripod and CPL filter.
I hope you'll like it,
Thanks for your time, best regards,
Tomasz

I agree with Craig it looks better with straighten horizon
