    There's no hard and fast rule on the copyrighted video if it's a short clip with full credit. I know a lot of people say with music, it's 9 seconds, but that's not true, either. 9 seconds in the most you can do on YouTube without it being flagged for DMCA, but often YouTube will just throw an overlay ad trying to get the viewer to buy the song.

    Wasn't trying to argue. :) Just thought it was a good read on the subject.

    I will say, as a follow-up, if you're looking to reduce the impact of the sun, what you really need is a Neutral Density filter. They're like sunglasses for your lens.

    Thanks. I have noticed a positive effect using a UV filter, but I only use it when the sun is out and directly overhead. I think it makes a difference, and it's only a few bucks.

    The Neutral Density filter seems rather pricey.

    ND filters are the balls. They're so much fun to shoot with on a bright day.

    This was a 30-second exposure I took at about 10 a.m. one day near my house. I loved the reflections of the sun on the water and the way the ocean smoothed out to the horizon.

    I think I want to trade houses. Cool shot. Why the 30-second exposure, by the way?

    Mostly because I was experimenting with the ND filter. I wanted to see what kind of effect a long exposure would have during the bright mid-morning sun. Rather than stopping the action and capturing a moment of sunlight on the water, it allowed the sunlight's reflections to dance around and create in interesting effect of the light on the water. To me, it almost looks like electricity dancing across the surface.
