Thanks for posting the camerawork info, very useful. I've been trying in vain for some time to produce slow shutter seascape shots but they are always over-exposed to the point of near white-out, even with my ND filter and exp comp to the max. You mention here that you use Aperture priority, may I ask what setting you use ? Am I doing the wrong thing using Shutter priority ?
Great photo, pleasure to view !
Oh did I mention that?
I didn't get your point actually...I don't really rememeber what I've used for a setting for this shot. But in fact that doesn't matter. If I do it with aperture, shutter priority. The important thing is that you have to close the aperture when choosing a longer shutter.
So if you want to switch from 1/60 sec @ f8 to 1/50 you have to close the aperture to f7.1 to get the same exposure (e.g. -0.3). So every step you slow the shutter speed you also have to close the aperture one step to get the same amount of light into the lens.
Further in lots of opportunities you also have to balance the contrasts between foreground and sky. A sky with setting sun is always much brighter than the foreground. Since the camera can only capture a certain range of contrast the sky is very often overexposed or the foreground underexposed. You have to use a gradient ND filter which darkens the sky and balances the contrast.

Sorry again for the mistake!
