2nd day of shooting

Today i was focusing on the sea side. As i had a certain picture in my head of what i wanted to take, i needed to make sure i packed my bag with certain equipment as it was vital i had this equipment to capture the right shots. I made sure that i had my tripod, ND8 filter and a wide angle lens. When shooting i focused around the beachs of southsea. Along the coast i have noticed before there are certain areas on the coast that have some really cool, old fashioned bollards sticking out of the water, and also some nicely placed rocks in the shallow sea. These i really wanted to visit as i pictured these would look great in the shots i wanted to take. When setting up each of my shots i set my camera up. As i was using a ND8 filter, i needed to make sure my shot was set up first, everything from aperture to focusing, and then put the filter on after as from the density of the filter, when it is on the lens you are unable to see through it. When setting up i tried apertures from f.10 all the way to f.22 whilst using shutter speeds from 10 to 20 seconds. Most of the shots i found that the water looked best at around f.10 and with a 10 second exposure. As i wanted to keep a minimalistic approach to the shots, i focused on 3 main areas to take photos. As my photos were minimalistic, i didnt want to take too many photos for this core subject, as i felt too many of this type of photo would bore my viewer, i would prefer to have 3/4 appealing shots which would stick in my viewers mind.
