Well, it turns out that I need a lot more practice at long exposure photography :-

The Beach

This is Southsea beach at around 5:30 in the morning. A 15 minute exposure …

  1. It may look dark but there’s still a lot of lights around – use a long lens.
  2. Go further along to find darker places.
  3. 15 minutes is just about the minimum exposure. No matter how frustrating (and cold) waiting for it is.

As some of you already know, the trip to Ilfracombe was a touch on the wet side so the number of photos to sort through was fewer than expected. However I think a small number turned out ok …

#1: Lundy

Lundy

That funny lump on the horizon is probably Lundy island – famous haunt of pirates and sea birds.

#2: Incoming Rain

Incoming Rain

There were quite a lot of opportunities to shoot photos like this, but perhaps you’ll see that inclement weather sometimes makes for better images.

#3: Dark Harbour

Dark Harbour

This is the closest I have of a photo of Ilfracombe itself. Not just in the ones I thought to put up online, but even amongst the raw images!

#4: The Gentle Coast
