North Atlantic Sunset

This is a longer exposure at sunset across the North Atlantic Ocean on our way from the Isle of Lewis to Orkney.

 

I am so glad that I took my tripod with me.

 

I employed a tip from Matt Kloskowski that is worth knowing if you ever go on a cruise (or are shooting on a tripod in windy conditions)

 

Normally (if your lens has VR or IS) you should turn it off when doing long exposure work. However, the vibrations from the ship and movement on the water is an ideal environment in which to turn it on for LE work! I found that my shots on this trip were sharper with the VR on!
