actually Chris, using a small 8.0 meg Olympus but with lens open for almost 3 secs .. reason that it retains the foreground image (without blur) is because there is no actual movement .. its the tidal flats with water inlay .. not 'waves' as it may seem
It amazes me how many people take shots like that and leave their flash on, and then say why did that not look as good as in real life, so that a really good shot of the staircase to the moon turn off your flash and use a tripod with a cable release or remote control unit, another way is to set the timer on the camera for say 5-10 secs, so that you are not touching the camera at time of exposure. (and on the tripod)

quite right mate .. then there's that other input by people, down on the mudflats that just love taking pictures back in our direction .. kinda spoils the moment .. just wonder what they do achieve ..
