@jasonbarnette Oh, haha, I have a couple I did like that when I was in Long Beach because the waves were crashing in and I wanted the water to look cool. I haven't decided if I like them or not. I've never shared them.
Have you ever tried shooting dusk/sunset at an f/22?
Yes, I have a lot of photos at sunset that were f/22. Here are a couple: http://365project.org/kerristephens/365/2011-10-28 http://365project.org/kerristephens/365/2011-10-21
