John Harrison Watery Landscapes Emulation

As a second emulation for water photography, John Harrison's watery landscapes are a perfect way to express the movement of water and how it can shape landscapes into what we know an love today. In my personal photos I went to a beach in Spain and took many photos of the waves and landscape using the same methods as Harrison does in his photo's. I mostly used a deep focus range for the photos in order to capture movement in the waves, but in some of john Harrison's work a slower shutter speed is used in order to capture motion blur in the water by having the shutter open for longer. I attempted to use a slow shutter to capture wave motion blur, but working in the middle of the day with bright sunlight resulted in all of the images being rather over exposed. In Harrison's photos it is noticeable that the time of day he shoots at is around the evening when the sun is setting (Golden Hour), at this time the light is much dimmer which means at a longer shutter speed the image wont be over exposed but within the range of a perfect exposure. I will have another attempt at slower shutter speeds in lower light conditions and in a different location (rivers, streams etc.) for more variety of subject.
