I headed down to the Cot valley yesterday, despite the sky being completely blue and cloudless. I arrived just in time to scamper over the rocks and find a spot for the sunset. I am always amazed that nobody ever seems to venture further than about 10 meters away from the front of the beach. There were 3 or 4 photographers there just stuck in the same spot. I went around the corner to find the whole of the rest of the beach completely deserted! Their loss I guess.
Anyway, the clouds then appeared and the light show began. Beautiful rays of light beamed down, the colours were great and I had a really productive time. It never seems to fail to disappoint. It is one of my all time favourite spots, it just has a magical quality of light down there.
The shot here shows the Brisons on the horizon, the two big rocks so characteristic off the coast here. This spot is sandwiched between Land's End and Cape Cornwall. Famed for its rounded rock formations, the possible compositions are endless.
I have been trying to "expose to the right", having read about it in my recent Christmas Photography books. Hopefully this has started to make a difference to the tones, particularly in the darker areas. let me know what you think. Enjoy.
17-40mm, polariser, reverse grad and 0.6 s Lee Gnd (i think)
Exposure:3.2
Aperture:f/22.0
Focal Length:17 mm
ISO Speed:100
Exposure Bias:+4/3 EV
