Porthgwarra

Went down to Gwennap Head near Lands End last night to shoot some more for my Land Sea Sky series. Sadly the sea was pretty big, meaning that long exposures ended up really 'misty' and the waves were too big to get near enough for super-wide goodness. However, I did get the following after sunset, when I'd trudged back to the car at Porthgwarra, which is much more sheltered:

Hmm, maybe this one from the headland is up to scratch:

The second one is mind blowingly good fella. Looks like some kind of Sci-Fi world.

Love its composition.

Superb dude

Gotta say that 2nd one is a cracker!

I however won't be letting my lenses near sea spray again

Takes forever to get the salt off everything

Love that second image. I really like how the water looking that misty gives the shot a very unreal look. What settings did you shoot at?

Origin · 15 Dec 2008 at 05:20

absolutely love the 2nd one, any chance of a high res version of it? username at f2s dot com . Would love to stick that through one of the big printers at work.

PaulStat · 15 Dec 2008 at 09:08

That 2nd one is just gob smackingly good! What filter do you use? An ND of some kind?

Trick · 15 Dec 2008 at 09:12

The second one is absolutely stunning

Sorry, forgot to update this thread...

Phate, these are all now available as prints on my redbubble page (there's also a rather funky calendar with them all on too

)

PF and Paul, the second shot is a blend of three exposures, the first of about 2 minutes with a 6-stop ND filter to smooth the main body of water, the second without the filter of 1.5 seconds to retain the detail in falling water, and the third somewhere in the middle for the textured water in the midground.

Origin, afraid I'm no longer dishing out high-res versions, if you'd like a print can I recommend visiting the link above

2nd is jaw dropping, amazing shot m8

Pic2 definitely has that 'Lord of the Rings' thing going on.
