That one one picture is the combination of 15 different shutter clicks

Not as much work as it sounds, honest!
I took 5x underexposed shots, 5x overexposed shots and 5 'correctly' exposed shots, combining each group on the fly in-camera (unique to Pentax K10/K20 series?) to result in three images of different exposure, then combined those in editing software to give a tonemapped HDR image.
The surf was up and the sea was crowded with surfers, this technique smoothed the sea right out and eliminated all people except the static fishermen at the end of the pier.
