[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 232086, member: 9240"] Some days you just have to take what the day gives you and be satisfied with nothing knowing that there's always tomorrow. Without being in the place with you I can't tell you [I]what I would have done[/I], but I suspect that if the salt sea was blowing up at me like you describe and my only reason for being there was trying to make a picture and not to capture something specific, I may not even have bothered shooting - which is more me admitting to a cop-out than it is any critique of what you shot. That said, if I did bother to get out there long enough to squeeze off the shots you took I probably would have tried for the long exposure. Carry a plastic bag and a rubber band, cut a hole and wrap the camera and lens so only the lens front is exposed. This way the equipment is protected - just make sure there's a filter on the lens. If there's sand blowing and I was using an ND I might even stick a protective UV in front of the more expensive ND just to protect it as well. [/QUOTE]
