In densely populated areas long exposures taken at night can suffer from light pollution - giving the images a yellow/orange tint - but looking out to sea at night you get different tones completely.
This image was taken at dusk on an overcast day, looking out to sea from Mevagissey Harbour. I’m not entirely sure what the light is on the horizon - it could have been a buoy bobbing about in the waves - but I think it was a boat as other fishing boats seemed to returning at the time.
Technical details : 60s, f/8.0, ISO100

After six months of having a camera I decided it was about time I went through my previous shots and tidied them up, both in terms of organisation and correcting past mistakes. A couple of people commented on this image recently - I was really happy with it at the time but my preferences and skill have changed somewhat since taking it so it became the first one to have a bit of a facelift.
At the time it was taken I was interested in the effect it was possible to create with running water and Photomatix, and even though the shot was taken during the day I still managed to get managed to get a 2.5s exposure by choosing a shaded location and a small aperture.
The three bracketed shots (at 0.6s, 1/6s and 2.5s) were then combined in Photomatix and the resulting image was desaturated and had some contrast tweaks to enhance the molten glass look.
