Caught a sunrise at St Abbs,East Lothian this morning.Was a wee bit to windy to play with the tripod and filters so went for this handheld effort. A bit different from the norm as you would normally go for the lighthouse which you can see to the top right of the image but liked the way the light was hitting the cliffs this morning.
Heavy seas at St. Abbs.
As you can see from the aerial map, there are plenty of photo opportunities in the harbour. However, during our visit, there was no access to about half of the harbour walls due to the crashing waves. Finding refuge from the spray was a priority. It was a case of lodging next to an abandoned cottage facing the sea with a 70-200 zoom, tripod and Lee 10-stop safely tucked behind some corrugated iron.
Nikon D40 and 18-55 kit lens. Handheld.
An exercise in two things... A week ago I took the plunge into the unknown and sent myself off on a Beginners course on Photoshop. It was only a day thing at a local college but I enjoyed it and learnt lots of new stuff..
So.. this is my first attempt.. St Abbs head, taken the summer of 2009. The shot was almost but not quite, so I have had a tinker with levels. I like it better now.
The second thing is that it is uploaded as a TIFF file, rather than a Jpeg, to see what the Flickr uploader thinks to it.
Onwards and upwards.... now to get rid of the dust spots!!
Long exposure of the sunrise down at St Abbs on the east coast of Scotland. I have a standard exposure version as well but think i prefer this one. 0.9 hard grad and Lee 10 stopper.
St Abbs 21 May 2021. Showing the effects of an occlude front.
In meteorology, an occluded front is a weather front formed during the process of cyclogenesis. The classical view of an occluded front is that they are formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front, such that the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the surface.
