Sorry for that, I will see myself out 🙂

you are probably right, at least in a controlled environment like a studio. On a windy beach I guess something like this might be easier to handle.

Non native English speaker here: "..flagging to avoid glare" I guess that means to somehow create a shadow protecting the objective from direct sun?
Would you elaborate a little on how you do that. Do you simply hold something above the cam?

The sun was behind the clouds and just above the center of the frame; the lens required careful flagging to avoid glare.

The rendering of water, especially in the sea, differs greatly with exposure. 30 seconds looks quite different from 3 seconds, which is just as different from 1/30 sec, which is different from 1/1000 sec. About 1/30 sec renders roughly the way our vision does; anything else requires a camera to see.
