What's more cliché than a long exposure pier shot? I don't care how cliché they are I still love these types of shots. Maybe it's just from growing up on the coast. The sunset was kind of boring as well as the sky but once the sun went all the way down the sky exploded with color. I believe this was around a 30 second exposure to smooth out the water. Shot with either a 3 or 6 stop filter. I don't remember.
