Part 2 of the new series with long exposures.
This one is shot on the beach of Scheveningen in The Hague. The part you see is part of the famous Scheveningen Pier, taken while standing right under the enormous pier that also hosts a casino.

isayx3 who used this same shot for his PP friday, just check it out, it's amazing.
Why would you take long exposure shots during broad daylight, someone asked me.
Well that can be for various reasons, but very often it is to capture motion in such a way it becomes smooth and solid. Like the small waves and ripples in the water in this shot that are flattened by the long exposure. It gives a more harmonious feel to landscape shots like these. Besides that, the idea of a certain period of time captured and visualized in one image or thought is something that has always amazed me. Time is such a strange concept...
