Welcome to My Photographic Observations.
I hope I find everyone all well.
I like to dabble in long exposures and the ideal place is where there are clouds and water among other subjects.
I also like to photograph sunsets which by chance I was at the North Mole Lighthouse to do so.
I got there early and saw a marker in the ocean and decided seeing I was here early would make my first photograph.
I set up my tripod and camera and focused on the rocks about a third of the way into the scene. I then put on my Neutral Density Filter and Set the shutter to bulb after calculating the 6 stops needed.
here is that photograph.
The bank of clouds that were on the horizen were slowly moving towards me and as the sun was going down gave a nice warm feel. I also liked the motion blur of the car carrier.
My next photograph I focused on the marker and used a 10 Stop ND filter to flatten the water and to get some colour in the sky while getting motion blur or streaks in the clouds.
It was surprising how much colour came out but was also pleased with the streakiness and the flat water.
After the light had gone I thought I would photograph the lighthouse and hopefully get some car lights as the cars moved ahead of me. It had its challenges as focusing was a bit awkward but in the end I got this photograph below that I liked out of the dozen or so I tried.
The red of the lighthouse and the blue of the sky made for some nice subtle contrast.
Thankyou for taking the time to look and read.
