Mini 4 What a wonderful day for doing nothing!

Enjoying my drone, gazing at the Sun before it sets, listening to the soothing sound of waves.

ND1000 - ISO100 - 1” (I needed ND2000)

Awesome photo!

I'd say you'd nailed the exposure and didn't need the ND2000. Great photo.

@GFields thank you!

@MS Coast i wanted longer exposure, at least 1 stop more, without clipping highlights. Thank you

It's inevitable that the white of the foam is going to be somewhat overexposed. Do you really want it to be grey rather than white?

I just check exact shutter speed, it was 1 sec not more. I'm not worried about the white foam but the rest of the scene. 2 secs exposure would give even nicer effect. Not sure though, I should test it. I ordered ND2000, I'll try this weekend.

@MS Coast The photo below was shot at 1.3", the waves looked nicer. I wanted to achieve "smokey waves".

Yes, the slower shutter speed gives more motion blur. The denser ND filter would allow for more blur in the waves.

Exactly. I also thought of b&w.
