The waves look very calm but only because it was a 60 second exposure with a 10 stop ND filter and polarizer which smoothed everything out.

INTRODUCTION Preparing for cold weather landscape photography can be very time consuming but it's essential you have the right gear or you're not going to be happy with the results.
