Sunrise at Polzeath

Administrator — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 19:50:14 +0000

I was down at Polzeath before the sun came up this morning. The moon had a hazy ring surrounding it which looked unusual. I took a few photographs whilst waiting for the sun. Well the sun rise was intense, i was keen to do a few long exposures and was shooting away from the sun. The clouds were reflecting the colour or the sunrise from behind me and it made for some beautiful images. The exposure was f10 at 2.5 sec at ISO 200, i had a neutral density filter on to keep things dark so i could keep a maintain long exposure. I have cropped the images to make them more panoramic.

Constantine at Sunset

Administrator — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 07:12:39 +0000

I really had a lot of fun at Constantine last night. I love high tide there, the waves crash right on the shore and water rushes up the steep beach. I was getting pretty wet letting the waves crash around me but I really wanted to catch the reflections in the wet sand. The little bubbles in the sand twinkle like lights. I took about 100 photos to get this one. I would wait for a wave to wet the sand and then let the excess water recede, as it did this the sand would become more and more mirrored, then as another wave would come in, a line of thick foam would creep in into view….. CLICK.

Rock in the mist.

I shot some photographs at Rock today. It was very misty over the water which made for some interesting photographs. I surfed at Constantine that night and did not take my camera, I wish I had as the light was unbelievable at high tide the sand had an amazing colour. Maybe next time.
