Hidden Textures
Depending on how it is accomplished, motion or speed blur allows the viewer to sit in awe of a segment of the Ocean as it comes to life before their very eyes. New textures, shadows and shadows convey the sense of movement as one simply watches.
A Trace of a Wave
As small waves near the end of their journey, I track them with a slower-than-normal shutter speed. This in turn renders them with a palette more associated with pastel hues. It also creates a riot of motion.

Capturing the motion of the Ocean in landscape imagery is something I normally accomplish with a 1.6sec shutter speed.
Northern Shores
The Rocky shorelines of Okinawa on the Western Coast are dominated by areas such as this, perfect for long exposure photography.
A Sense of Tranquility
ND Filters allow the shooter to transform a rough Ocean into a scene of apparent tranquility by extending shutter speeds and 'ironing' out motion.
