An old pier by Rock Ferry, Wirral, on the River Mersey, UK.
Long exposure shot just after sunrise.
Exposure- 237 seconds !
Aperture- F11
ISO 100
Focal length- 14mm.
There is a story behind this image. I'd visited this location 3 times after only recently discovering it about 15-20 minutes drive away.
I managed some nice long exposure shots on the first 2 visits(dawn), but the light wasn't that interesting although the tide was right, and the place looked quite clean and interesting.
On this 3rd trip, the light was looking really quite special, but along with the rising tide which was flowing left to right in the picture was masses of dirty brown scummy looking foam floating on the water!
I guessed rightly that with a very long exposure using my 10 stop ND filter, the foam floating past wouldn't show up. That worked very nicely, but a lot of this stuff had collected just to the left of the jetty, and left a blurry mess in the final image! So I had to clone that area out in photoshop to clean up the image! I only took one shot for this image and made adjustments in Camera Raw.
Thank you all again for your support!
