Yesterday there was a glimpse of sunshine, a respite from the leaden grey skies we have had for the last few days. Sunset was just after four o'clock and high tide at 16.50 so I decided to grab some fresh air after working all day at the computer. The sun had already disappeared behind a bank of heavy grey cloud out to the west and a fierce wind was whipping spray straight in off a turbulent sea making it difficult to keep the camera lens clear and the tripod from vibrating in the wind. I always like to give some long exposures in these conditions to soften the movement of the water so the tripod is essential.
These two images are the result of my short visit - everything was getting soaked with the salty spray - and I really like the way the white foaming water and flying spray have caught the glow of light from the sky in the picture below, well worth the time spent cleaning the camera and lenses later.
