Nice stuff Richard
Have you ever set the shutter speed long enough where the water looked like fog and lacked all major detail? I've been wanting to try that on a scene like your #2 and #3 and haven't yet.
I have some images with much longer exposures where the ebbing and receding water look like fog, but I am not exactly fond of that type of water treatment. If you noticed, each of the images I posted have a shutter speed of 0.5 second or close to it. That combination of movement and water detail fits in with what I prefer. With the latitude I have in using higher ISOs with the 5D Mk2, I can lock down my DOF and shutter speed - while using different ISOs to achieve the proper exposure as the light changes. ISOs varied from 1000 to 100 with no loss of detail or noise at 1000.

Richard,
I can't seem to find that ISO thingy on my camera...
Yell at me next time you come up, I'm re-loaded on vacation Jan 1.
Cheers, Steve

Great set of images. I especially like the movement in the middle shot. Indeed, that would be lost with a longer exposure. Well done.

These are beautiful. I'd love to fly down to the West Palm Beach area in a few weeks and shoot some. How does one stay past the 4:30 closing at some of these parks? Also, which filters did you use if any?
I'd love to see some of the "foggy" water shots using a longer exposure.
