Tide At St.Micheals Mount | Info + Comments (16)

It's about time again, the first image of this year, and a little late happy new year to you all. I had only limited possibilities to go out shooting so far. The light and my work schedule don't agree too much at the moment. Nothing new, but that's the way it is.

I have started a little project which I have announced on the blog a while ago which is still going on, but still needs some more material. I have some shots in the bag for this one already, and it evolved also into another little side-project. The first image of the latter will go live in two weeks. So for today, it's a little older one.

St.Michaels Mount.... What a wonderful and mystic location in Cornwall. It's soon a year ago that I have been visiting there and still I haven't finished processing all the images, not that I took too much images there, I guess I'm just a tad slow ;-)

I took this one on my last day of this trip, when everything came together just nicely and I had the conditions I was looking for the whole week. A little later I got the image I didn't even dare to dream of. A little coverage of my trip you can find here on the blog if you are interested.

Thanks visiting and I hope you like it.

Very nice shot! The blurred clouds add o lot of dynamic to the nice toned black and white realization. Keep up the good work!

Really dark mood here. Nice work though! The blurred clouds give your photograph a nice dynamic touch.

Nice shot ! I like the sky with a long exposure.

Terrific sky, and I really like the zig-zag in between the rocks leading out to sea.

Great image it has everything the soft blur of the sea and the great movement in the sky. Like it very much.

Beautiful composition and neat tonal range. Looks like the clouds were moving pretty quick for a 20 sec exposure!

Great Shot Sven, I really think you have captured this very well, I loved shooting there and this is one of the best i have seen.

I like the effect of the long exposure. What sort of filter did you use to restrict the amount of light?

Posted by Andrew Briggs on February 06, 2010 at 06:40 PM EET #

Thanks a lot for all your comments. I appreciate that a lot.
@Andrew: I'm not 100% sure anymore, but I definitely have been using a grad-filter (probably 2 stops, maybe 3) and maybe also my 2,5 stops ND filter. I'm not sure on the latter anymore.

Congratulations, the shot is really magical. It's like see a fantasy movie. The exposure in the clouds are really awesome.

I'll put in my favs. You have my vote. Congratulations again.
