There's something 'other worldly' about long exposures. People become ghosts, waves and clouds get blurred and smoothed. The 'secret' (if you can call it that) to success is to find something really solid to rest the camera on. A good tripod will definitely help, as it gives you lots of flexibility in terms of how you position the camera and will be fairly rigid.
Alternatively, you can do it the budget way, like today's post, and make use of a concrete rubbish bin. I suspect the lump of cast concrete was more solid than any tripod but admittedly nowhere near as portable.
The end result was this 30-second exposure, taken in Saltburn on the north-east coast of England:
