Radio Paradise

Thanks! I have a circular polarizing filter that stays on the lens but seems to me to only play a role when light is reflected on the water. I only adjusted the ISO and f-stop but because it was already twilight and in the shade, I didn't have to do much to get the 1 second exposure time.
I didn't notice it at all when taking the shot but when I was editing (very rudimentary, mostly crop, a little noise reduction and sharpening when needed, and desaturation in this case) I noticed a figure standing in the water, or at least I imagine it.

I can see that - like someone striking a "vogue" pose.

Very nice - cool focal range. Do you use any neutral-density filters or polarizers for long exposures like that or just adjust the ISO and F-stop/aperture?
