When I shoot seascapes I usually use moderate shutter speed - from 1/10-th of the second to 3-4 seconds. Such shutter speed allows you to smooth the waves a bit but also keep texture in the water and show motion and energy of the sea. In most cases I avoid very long shutter speed when shooting the sea, because the result look more like a fog or milkshake and I don't like it.
But in some cases very long exposure can show you very interesting and exciting results. In this photo from Isle of Eigg I used tremendously long exposure of 241 seconds. Even after sunset I had to use ND 10-stop filter to achieve such a long exposure. Although sea waves had blurred into the mist this image still have a lot of energy and motion because of the harsh texture and shape of the foreground rocks. Fast moving clouds in the sky also add more energy and tension to this scene.
Technical details:
| Camera | Nikon d810 |
| Lens | Nikkor 16-35 f/4 |
| Settings | ISO 64, 19 mm, f/1, 241 seconds |
| Other | Single shot, ND 10-stop filter |

With the use of the ND10 stop filter, you managed to get an excellent photo with exceptional sharpness on the rocks. It's just that the photo is so beautiful that you could even watch it at home on the wall
@postar13 Thank you!
Great shot!
What is the height of where you took the photo?
@chorock I was standing on the ridge which goes into the sea, camera was about 1.5 meters above the sea level
thanks for share
ma n love your photos
Wow bro its really awesome picture
241 seconds is a very time-consuming energy but paid off with amazing work. Keep working @ansharphoto and Best Regards...
very nice long exposure - it's pretty awesome that your camera goes below iso 100. I also need to invest in a better ND filter. cheers, following.

@crazy-andy Thank you!
I didn’t realize long exposure shots of seascapes could look this cool. I usually love long exposure shots in general but now I want to see more of the sea like this :).
@snrm Long exposure shot looks cool when you have something moving in the frame. With seascape you have a lot of moving stuff in the frame :)
I love that silky water!
@derekkind Thank you!
