Castle Stalker

Not too happy with this one, but I thought I'd fire it up anyway.

 

I had planned this shot, however I had planned to take it when the tide was IN. Sadly the tide was pretty far out, and although the wading seabirds seemed fairly happy, I wasn't.

 

There are plus sides though - the sunset happened. A few minutes before this was a wee sleet shower, but there was a hint of the clouds clearing a bit, so I stuck around. I also love the effect the exposure had on the clouds here, and the slight warmth the foreground has picked up.

 

As Arnold says..."I'll be back"

 

Canon Eos 5D, 17-40L at 25mm, f16, 9 minute exposure with the B&W ten stop filter and a hi-tech 0.9 hard grad.

 

This could probably have done with another 3 or 4 minutes before it was properly cooked, but the under expsoure adds some mood to it.
