To watch how I captured this shot watch my video diary of the trip: youtu.be/kAmUAoEpa48

 

An incredible cloud inversion blanketed the Isle of Man a few weeks ago producing out of this world photographic conditions but typically I was in work wasn’t it?!

 

However I had a brainwave on how I could shoot on a freezing January night to try and make the most of these rare Winter conditions. With this shot my objective was to capture an audacious image of light beams in the icy fog filled air in a 360-degree arc round the top of the Point of Ayre lighthouse. On the face of it, it would seem an easy shot, but it proved to be one of the most challenging photography ideas I’ve had in quite some time.

 

Main Exposure – f2.8, 10 seconds, ISO 1250, 14mm. Secondary Exposures for lighthouse beams – f2.8, 1.6 seconds, ISO 4000, 14mm
