Portland Bill
Another shot from Thursday's visit to Dorset with Darren Blight Photography.
I've been to Portland a few times and always came home with a shot I'm fairly happy with, but on Thursday I was looking for a new take on the well photographed location.
The sun was too bright to get the classic shot of the lighthouse so while we were over at Pulpit Rock I had a wander, looking at the amazing patterns in the rocks on the floor. Using one spot I found a bit of foreground that I quite liked and set up my camera, then waited for the clouds to come over so my long exposure would give some movement to them.
I have two versions of this shot, this one, and one with more light on the rocks, although I'm not overly fond of that as I think the harsh shadows take away from the patterns in the rock a bit, but I'll post that one at a later date and let you decide.
Anyway, does the composition work, let me know what you think.
