This was shot in the evening of March 19th, 2008, at Lee-on-Solent, a sea front village just down the road from where I live.
Lee's one of my favourite locations. The artificial groynes, made from huuuge boulders imported from the south west coast provide a wealth of photo opportunities.
I was lucky this evening. The sea was calm and tide way high, and after a day of iffy weather, the sun broke out and provided a gorgeous evening, and a stunning sunset for my shots...

HDR1435 -

Nikon D200. Sigma 10-20mm lens @ 10mm

HDR image from 9 RAW files.

ISO 100. Spot metered from the boat.
.6 and .9 ND grad filters over the sky.

I shot this late in the evening, just before packing up for the evening. I'd imagined a shot like this for a while, but I'd never had the right lighting to pull it off. I jumped down into the harbour and set up on the slippery, and rather quicksand like mud. Balancing the exposure was tricky, I had to use .6 [2 stop] and a .9 [3 stop] ND grad filters, even then the shot wasn't looking how I wanted..
