Back to album

cloudy and cool, but still on the beach

Just back from a couple of disappointingly grey & wet weeks in Ireland - only a couple of sunny days which was a shame. Pretty much sums up the summer!

 

Anyway, great locations for a few photo excursions, so I made the most of having my tripod with me for a change and taking some multi-exposure HDR shots mixed with long exposures using my ND 8 filter.

 

This is a 5 exposure shot, tonemapped in Photomatrix to bring out the rock colours against the heavy sky. The waves are flattened by the long exposures (from 1s - 5s) which also creates the swirl of water on the sand as the tide rises and falls.

Thanks everyone for helping this into Explore - just outside the top 100 after less than 24 hrs :-)

 

 

Seen in the Ireland set.

 

This is Kinnegoe Bay from above.
