Stuff is confusing...

I thought I could post a photograph I took a while ago. I've worked quite a bit on this, and I'm still perfecting it. So, it's still not finished. 
Even though it's late at night, and I should probably get some rest, I'll bother you, yet again, with some scary photographic linguistics! Okay, so I used a Cokin ND4 filter (which is a grey filter, used to get slower exposures) and a sircular polarizer, just to force the exposure further down. It's a 25 seconds long exposure, and stopped down with 1.7 stops. I stopped it down because I figured it would save me some time during post production... None the less, it helped me, because it further darkened the water, which would have been a tad overexposed if I hadn't had stopped it down. I actually used ISO 100, even though this won't contribute at anything, but I just did in case it would lower my exposuretime even further. On a side notice, there were some pretty huge waves hitting the mainland where I was standing, and I got pretty soaked... The same with my camera! I tried my best to cover it, and it seems as though it made it through nicely. I also used gaffer-tape around the lens (I used a 35mm ƒ/1.8), to weatherseal it some more.

I'll leave you now, because I need some rest. So here's a absolute favorite song of mine, done by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole, it's a medley of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and What a Wonderful World. For some reason, this song have played a pretty large role in my life, and it's way too beautiful to pass, just listen:
