OK, so maybe my last post was not worded as well as it could have been. There are a lot of things I like about Flickr, the wealth of outstanding photographers producing truly inspiring work to start with, some of which I have had the fortune to meet in person and from which I have learnt a lot. But anyway, enough of that! Now for some photography!
Tonight I met up with Mike Stokes, one of the photographers mentioned above, and headed down to Bwlch Gwyn, a little cove on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. I have visited this beach on numerous occasions but it is one of those locations that I will never tire of! I decided to try something different tonight, usually I go out with no clear idea of what I hope to accomplish and as a result end up running around taking all manner of photographs. Sometimes I get lucky and end up with something of a reasonable standard. Tonight however I had a specific goal, the tide was in high tonight and on the turn with an easterly wind so I knew that there would be a fair break and I would be able to get quite close to the waters edge without having to worry too much about getting spray on the filters so my aim was to catch the break close up with an ultra wide-angle lens against a sunset sky. Instead of running around like a lunatic I had a focus and stuck with it tonight. Below is one of the many images I took this evening.
Canon EOS 40 D | Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM | Cokin X-Pro 0.9 ND Grad1 / 13 th sec | f/16 | ISO 100 @ 10mm
Ouch, that pic's excellent!
