Little Morton Hall was built between 1504 and 1508 for William Moreton.
In 1559 William had a new floor inserted at gallery level in the Great Hall, and added the two large bay windows looking onto the courtyard.
Running the entire length of the south range the Long Gallery is roofed with heavy gritstone slabs, the weight of which has caused the supporting floors below to bow and buckle. Architectural historians Peter de Figueiredo and Julian Treuherz describe it as "a gloriously long and crooked space, the wide floorboards rising up and down like waves and the walls leaning outwards at different angles." The crossbeams between the arch-braced roof trusses were probably added in the 17th century to prevent the structure from "bursting apart" under the load.

I tried taking shots of the waves today. It's harder than it looks. I like the way this one looks like ice instead of moving water. Trust me, there's more wave shots to come. This one is worth viewing large.

A multiple exposure image, made up of 62 images, taken at 10 second + intervals.
The exposures were layered in Adobe Photoshop. All the layers above the base layer were given progressively reduced opacity, so that each layer had equal overall weight.
From the base upwards, the layer opacity (the "opposite" of transparency) progressed by the following series:
1/1 (=100%), 1/2 (=50%), 1/3 (≅33%), 1/4 (=25%), 1/5 (=20%), 1/6 (≅17%) etc.
Because the version of Photoshop that I used only increments opacity by 1% units the top layer weightings were approximate. For example layer 62 required an opacity of 1/62 (≅1.6129%) - approximated in Photoshop to 2%.
Here are some typical individual shots (indicating the level of "choppiness" of the waves)...Picture #1, Picture #2, Picture #3, Picture #4, Picture #5
I had tried to recreate the wispy effects that can be achieved (with moving water with long exposures) that I obtained in near darkness - by using two ND4 filters in bright daylight. However, even using the slowest ISO speed setting, it was not possible to obtain very long durations single exposures. This is why I took the multiple exposure approach.

Hand held long exposures from a trip to Mallacoota late November last year, time for another beach trip!
