Thats a brilliant shot, so surreal. The water looks like velvet. What shutter speed did you use?

 

[amcinroy]

Thanks,

The first is 1.5 seconds.

I usually try to keep my sea shots below 2 seconds. Anything longer and it does tend to mist out. I like the misty effect too but I prefer to keep some wave definition to give a feeling of flow.

Another great series of shots Andy. I reckon one benefit of the unsettled weather is some spectacular sunsets, almost Autumnal.

Andy - your output never ceases to impress me. Of course it helps if you know your environment as well as you do

Thank you guys.

I appreciate the kind words.

Wow, great shots Andy. Do you have any tips for using graduated neutral density filters. Sometimes, even if I use a 3 or 4 stop during a sunset, the sky still gets washed out.....

Cheers Cornee

Using my Lee filters, I find that 4 stops is the maximum I would go to. Anything stronger tends to give a very un-natural result with a slight cast.

If the foreground is still very dark using higher strength grads then I would recommend dodging the foreground in post process. There will certainly be plenty of detail in there that you can bring out (something I could never do with Velvia!). Just make sure to get your sky exposure spot on.

Shooting into the sun is always going to be highly challenging. You'll need those high strength gads and you will also have to make a decision as to how much sun clipping is acceptable. Then you've got flare to contend with too.

It gets easier when the sun dips down and sometimes clouds or haze can help control the contrast.

Hope that helps.

Very nice shot, I'm a big fan of coastal photography & this is a great example - currently awaiting my GX-10 so hope to post a few similar shots in future

Hi Andy,

I had missed this one; it is so beautiful. Amazing how you from the same favourite spot, can continue to bring out extraordinary images. Great pleasure for the rest of us.

Wish I could come by, and see the exhibition. Best of luck with it.

Those colours are just perfect, so relaxing, I can almost hear the water running over the stones...

Perfect in every way, thanks for sharing this!
