Sunrise at Ballintoy from a few weeks ago. Standing on the secret beach looking across to sheep island.
If you are a lover of the coast and sea then Ballintoy is the perfect spot to sit, relax and watch the waves no matter what the weather is like.
As sunrise rays struggle to penetrate through the dark clouds, a dark storm cloud engulfs the Tweed dredge. It makes for a very moody photo!
This shot was made several weeks ago from the dunes at Formby. I had spent the evening at Crosby and camped overnight at Formby expecting a nice sunrise.
The forecast was for a clear night with a weather front moving in from the west in the early hours, so I expected some interesting conditions. It didn't disappoint for this image, with the low sun lighting up the distant wind turbines with the dark rain clouds moving in from behind giving a fantastic contrast. I got wet about 10 minutes later!
The same principle applies for wind turbines as for e.g. aeroplane propellers - you want to use a short enough exposure to capture the blades, but long enough that you capture some movement as they streak through the frame. This is even more important for wind turbines where a very long exposure (esp given distance) means that the blades are completely lost and you get nothing more than 'sticks in the sea'.
Obviously wind turbines are moving much slower than regular propellers so depending on wind conditions somewhere up to 1 or 2 seconds works well. Here the wind was relatively low and I've used 1/3". In retrospect I think a slightly longer exposure would have given more motion to the blades.
I am planning a new long exposure seascapes workshop around the Wirral, Crosby and Formby and will be announcing the date in the near future. Check out my website and subscribe to my newsletter to find out about it first.

I spent the last 24 hours in Aberdeen and there really is nothing like a change of environment to stimulate the photographer in me. To see things with a fresh set of eyes is a challenge that we all face and going somewhere new is often the easiest way to achieve this. For me the oil industry in and around Aberdeen is an alien world and a constant source of fascination.
One of the many small islets that have made the waters around the island of Alderney so dangerous to shipping over the years.

A CSX train backs off the offshore portion of the Oak Point Link as it makes up its train for departure later in the evening. Unfortunately the one cloud in the sky managed to cover the shot and wouldn't move until the train was long gone.

The offshore lifeboat station at the end of Southend Pier, one of the busiest in the country.
The RNLI does a sterling job saving lives and is staffed by volunteers, so fair play to them..

Bands of rain linger just off the Southern California coast.
Der Begriff Offshore stammt aus dem Englischen und bedeutet so viel wie „vor der Küste“. Somit bezeichnet die Offshore-Windenergie die Stromerzeugung durch Windanlagen auf dem Meer. Die Vorteile liegen insbesondere in der höheren und stetigeren Windgeschwindigkeit auf hoher See. Deshalb können Offshore-Windparks im Verhältnis doppelt so viel Strom wie vergleichbare Anlagen an Land produzieren. Sie tragen damit zu einer hohen Verlässlichkeit bei der Stromerzeugung bei. Offshore-Windparks produzieren deutlich mehr als 90 Prozent des Jahres umweltfreundlich Strom und stellen damit eine grundlastnahe Erzeugungsform auf Basis erneuerbarer Energien dar.
Hier ein kleiner Teil des Windparkes Arkona, nordöstlich von Rügen.
Mount Tamalpais State Park, California
We're standing on the Pacific slope of Mt Tamalpais after the sun has set. Below us is Bolinas Bay and the towns of Stinson Beach and Bolinas.
Note the massive fog bank standing just off offshore. This is the marine layer, a thermal inversion (cold air below warm air) that bedevils west coast photographers during the summer months. Many a promising sunset has been swallowed by the marine layer.
A strong wind came up as the sun went down, sufficiently strong that I had to brace myself and hold tightly to my tripod lest it blow over. What was particularly surprising were the blasts of warm air instead of the expected cold air. Apparently on top of the mountain there was something of a thermal inversion without the fog.
