Long Exposure Photography at Brighton Beach

What Long Exposure Does to Water

Shutter speeds of 10-60 seconds average water movement into a silky, milky surface that reflects the sky like a mirror. The sea becomes something calm and dreamlike.

Equipment and Settings

A solid tripod is non-negotiable. Use ISO 100, aperture f/8-f/11, and let the shutter speed vary. 20-60 seconds gives silk-smooth water. 2-4 minutes with a neutral density filter creates dramatic cloud movement.
