May I ask how you achieve the sky/water effects like that? If the EXIF info is correct it is only 1/25 second which I didn't think would be long enough for that effect to occur?

It's actually 25 seconds. I used a 10-stop ND filter to get a long exposure during the day.

You'll have to forgive me - my knowledge of photographic things is a little lacking 10-stops I understand, those are F-stops, right? But ND filter?

Sorry for the dumb questions.

A neutral density (ND) filter reduces the amount of light going through the lens. They vary in strength, 3-stops is typical which reduces the amount of light 8 times, the one I had is 10-stops which reduces the light by 1000 times. See [link] for more details.

Dang... okay, I know what I will be buying when I go shopping for photographic equipment in the next couple of weeks. Much obliged for the information (and your patience)
