very atmospheric photo, like it a lot.
What ND filter & settings did you use can I ask?
It was taken early in the morning. I had got up before sunrise in the hope of getting pictures of the sun rising over the mountains in Connemara (visible from the island) but instead, it was a gloomy, overcast morning. Long exposures were about the only type of picture I could get. I wanted to get a ‘cloudy’ effect on the water, but the sea was calm, so I searched around for a spot where the waves were washing against the rocks. Since the sky had no detail, I picked this spot because it had the signal tower and fort in the background, to give it more interest. The camera settings were f32 and 5 seconds at ISO100 – basically, I stopped down as far as I could on both aperture and ISO, to get as long a shutter speed as possible. I might have had a polariser filter on the lens too – can’t remember. It was taken with a Canon 7D fitted with a 15-85mm zoom (which has a 72mm filter thread – unlike all my other lenses which have a 77mm thread).
I have a set of ND filters but they all have a 77mm thread.
Lovely!
Very impressive shot John. I love the movement in the water around the rocks & the B/W treatment.
I’ve only just got my 1st ND filter & am itching to try it out.
