We had a rainstorm the day before my walk, and there is an outflow pipe that runs under Shore Road to take water from the higher parts of Sea Cliff and safely let it get to the harbor. There may also be salt water in these flows because maybe the high tide backflows into this pipe. I am not sure. But I was surprised to see how much water was running out of the pipe when I passed by on my walk. So... Seeing the running water, I used the oldest trick in the book - make a longer exposure and the water which is moving is blurred in a lovely way, and everything else is sharp. It is a nice effect in a landscape sometimes, but it tends to be over done sometimes. I am not sure what you will all think about this - is this an unusual thing to see, or does it seem normal? For the technically inclined, this was a 1/2 second exposure. I was without a tripod so I held my camera tightly on top of the railing and carefully released the shutter, and most of the photographs are sharp.

I don't know the tricks of the trade but I like this photo of the wispy waves over the rocks.

I like the photo of the water rushing by but I am not a big fan of the "blurred" look. i prefer the natural view. Betsey
