Calming the sea.

Here goes another attempt at smoothing the sea. Not interesting subject but my best practise shot so far. Now I need to find a more exciting location along the coast.
Nikon D7000, 18-105 kit lens at 105mm. f9, 10seconds with Tiffen 10 stop filter, raw, in early afternoon under the spanish sun.
Criticism welcome.

There has never been a bad water shot. I live at the beach so I have several practice spots, plus a water feature at one of the local parks.
I too have recently purchase a Fotga 10 stop vND filter, from "ScottRoertstudio.com".
What ND setting was this picture?

Hi fstop11, this was a 10 stop neutral density filter and not a variable one so it only does 10 stops. Do you find your variable ND filter good to use. I would like to see some of your examples. This is a side of photography I have only recently started, normally I chase birds around but am enjoying something less energetic. Thanks for commenting.

My mistake. I have deleted all my practice shots, next time I take some pictures I will send you a couple.

It might help to use a longer exposure, lower ISO, and maybe a lower position with a horizontal view looking across the water, not down into it.

Thank you FotoBuf, I do normally keep my ISO to 100 and I like your suggestion to get lower even though, at my age, getting down is easy but getting up again is less so - Lol. Happy Christmas and keep ideas coming, help is always welcome.
