Here's the first photo from my two weeks spent in Lanzarote this month... taken on my very last evening! I stayed at my Auntie & Uncle's Villa, which I'd recommend to anybody! - Villa Rhodantha, Playa Blanca, Lanzarote
I had visited Charco de Los Clicos (AKA Charco Verde) near El Golfo several days before, but decided to schedule a return visit when high tide coincided with sunset, so that I could get the waves lapping the shore in the same shot as the island's famous green lake. My last day of the holiday was the closest I'd get at two hours apart. Still, I needed to create a panorama to get everything in.
I also wanted to shoot a long exposure, as I haven't seen one done from this iconic honeypot location. It would be my way of making something a little different. I didn't really know if it would work - with the clouds moving between the 30 second exposures, but I gave it a go! (The sky did in-fact need a little tidying in post).
Shooting 30 second exposures wasn't at all easy. Lanzarote is renowned as a wind island. And the evening of this shoot was no different with a strong onshore wind buffeting my camera. To give my exposures the best chance, I hung my camera bag from my lightweight travel tripod to steady it, and used my body as a windbreak. Thankfully it worked!
Canon 6D MkII | 24-105mm lens at 28mm | Æ/9 | 30 sec | ISO 200 | Tripod | 3 stop soft grad & 10 stop ND filters | stitched panorama from 7 exposures | Lightroom & Photoshop | Taken at El Goflo, Lanzarote on 16-09-2022
