Long Exposure shots.

[mcleish]

Hey everyone. Im basically looking for some pointers from the guys that shoot long exposures, especially around the beach area. Ive just got myself a 9 stop hoya filter and had a little play with it the other day. Im located, at the moment, near a beach, so im looking to have some fun with it.
After viewing a lot of shots near the sea, i love the look of the foamy water around the rocks which gives it that mystical feeling.
I found compositionally it was pretty difficult to try and achieve what i wanted, but i kind of expected this for a first use with it.
So any pointers would be great. May as well show you what i came up with.
