During Easter weekend I went to Pacific Grove to practice taking photos. The photos below were taken during
Blue Hour.
I tried to take slow shutter speed photos during the daylight hours, but without a dark filter on my lens I was not able to get less than 1/8 sec without overexposure.
During the evening hours I returned to Lover's Point Pacific Grove to catch the photos below.

I started out with a high aperture setting to get everything in focus. I gradually backed the aperture out to f/8 in the end to gather more light and focus on the rocks.
All these pictures were taken with a infrared shutter remote and tripod. It would be impossible to get long shutter speed shots in focus otherwise. Even still you can see a slight amount of shutter vibration in some of the lower shutter speed photos.
At the end of this photo session I moved down to the beach level for a different angle.

Next time I do a long shutter speed photo session of moving water I will try to make the following preparations.
- Take a dark filter for daylight photos.
- Take more photos.
- Wait till the sun sets more for longer exposure times.
- Bring better clothes to keep warm and comfortable.
