These two were captured yesterday, in some truly foul weather. They are rather hasty as I wanted to keep my camera as dry as possible - the only usable shots from about 20 as the weather was so awful.

Greyscaled, resized + levels altered.
S5500, ISO 64, 1/6s at f9.0, with ND2 filter



Greyscaled, resized, and levels altered on several parts due to rain and rain-protecting hand in the way!
S5500 + TL-FX9, ISO 64, 1/125s at f3.1

Two fine shots Chris! Good comp in both. Could clone out that pole in the first (odd place for a bird feeder LOL) I'm drawn to the second one. Those two folks give scale to the size of the cliff. Good choice with the gray scale. Gives a good sense of the foulness of the weather. Might try monochrome and boost contrast more, for a comparison. That may, or may not, add to the shot. Good job! Not everybody will venture into such conditions.

Thanks, the answer is to take very hasty pics! The second one I cursed myself being on ISO 64, needing a fast exposure.

Thanks for the comments. I wondered about cloning out the groyne pole but it sat so nicely on my top third and it would have been hard (quite a large object!) to clone out. I agree about the contrast, I have boosted it slightly but I think it may need a bit more.

Funny you should ask! I have recently been to Mons Klint. However no, it is merely Sidmouth cliffs, which is a small town in Devon. The cliffs are lovely, the area has recently been designated a World Heritage Site. They're sandstone rather than the chalk at Mons Klint.

Managed to keep water out as best as possible with the Cokin lens cap, it works quite well. Set up, lift, snap, drop, thust camera under coat! Happy days :-)

It is a nice place. These cliffs are a lot bigger (in fact they are higher than the highest point in Denmark!) but perhaps not so good-looking.

Very nice!
