Hello.
Whilst on me hols last week, I wanted to take some pics of the sea crashing against the rocks (it got a bit rough yesterday!), using a slightly longer than normal exposure to exaggerate the movement of the sea. It was still quite sunny, and I found that I couldn't get an exposure any slower than 1/200th (when I wanted about 1/12th). Aperture was at f/9 and won't go any higher than that.
At 1/200th exposure, it wasn't the shot I wanted. Using a shutter speed any slower than that led to over-exposure.
Would it have helped slightly if my polariser had been on the camera, and not on my desk at home a thousand miles away? Any other tricks I can use to get longer exposures in difficult conditions?
