Long exposure Portencross Pier

strax · 22 Apr 2009

Following on from this thread, heres one of this mornings images.

Its a 61 second exposure using the HiTech 10 stop ND. All the usual problems were there. Loads of small bits of flare and a slight Magenta cast on the right. I thought it was worth fixing though...

This is Portencross Pier in rather more favourable light than Dejavu's post

Like the feel of this pic. The movement in the clouds actually makes me feel i'm getting dragged into the pic

It does have that kind of hypnotic feel to it. The Tokina 11-16 just helps to accentuate it along with the long exposure

It's the first time that I have been here and there's been nobody fishing from this pier, so I thought I would take my chance while I could

Good shot Robert, and yes, much better light than I had when imaging on top of the pier.
On saying that, I was very pleased with my other images taken below the pier which I think worked out much better in the dreary light conditions as opposed to shooting above it.

Yes, your images taken beside the pier worked well and would have looked good in mono.

Thanks. Its easy to get something good as long as the cloud formations look interesting and the filter doesnt make too much of a mess of the image.

I like this a lot. I think the colour on the pier adds another dimension to the shot so bravo.
