Wet feet and Long Exposures

Early Monday morning at Aberavon,the tide was high and the light was lovely - perfect conditions for some long exposures on the breakwater. I checked the tide was at its highest before venturing out on to the pier but the water was still lapping the surface making the whole sea look like an infinity pool. What I didn't take into account was the effect of the swell from the large ships leaving Port Talbot Docks on the high tide! I did get very wet feet as the waves washed over my boots, but it was a very surreal experience standing next to a canoeist as he paddled past me and I loved the effect of the water rushing through the concrete "Jacks" as the sea crashed over the wall.
