That was then, this is now (7 of plenty)

@Michael Skorulski: Thank you for those kind words, Michael. I appreciate the compliment.

@Aaron Schmidt: Cheers, Aaron. It was a sensational time to be out there. I'm glad that Aminus 3ers have taken positively to the images. Thanks for the visit and positive feedback.

@Ming Img: Thanks Ming. The filters were very helpful, especially with the slight 'redness'. I wasn't sure whether the moon would be obvious because the tripod moved slightly as the wave came through. Thanks very much for your comment.

@Stu: Thanks Stuey. I think I may have mentioned somewhere that this was the first occasion on which I felt that I had done the camera some justice. I reckon there's still room for improvement on my behalf but it isn't a negative first step. Thanks for your recent comments, mate.

@Helma: Thank you! :)

@Disoriented: Thank you very much. Happy to hear the positive effect the images have had.

@amy: Thanks Amy. The results of turning ones head can often yield positive results; just ask any medical practitioner. ;p

@Sandrine: Thank you kindly Sandrine. I've always thought of (amateur) photography as being 99% enjoyment of the moment and 1% evidence of time well spent. Perhaps the images in series have promoted this attitude as I thoroughly loved my time out on the beach that evening. As there was barely another soul around toshare the experience, apart from an intrigued local man passing by, it's a pleasure to share the results with those who are equally as passionate about the natural beauty all around us. Thanks again for all your lovely comments during the course of this series. I have a few more instalments of landscape/waterscape images in the pipeline. :)

@drphoto: I appreciate the kind words, Dan. Thanks for taking a look at some of my photos. As soon as I have a spare nanosecond, I promise to return the favour.
