So I thought taking pictures of mangroves at high tide, using my new ND400 filter, would be just the thing. This time I remembered the sunblock as well as the hat. Learning from experience etc.<\/p>\n<p>Established mangroves shelter the boardwalk from the sun, and the high tide and light breeze mean attractively-rippled water just waiting to be smoothed out by long exposures. Excellent reflections could be had where pools were sheltered from the breeze.
