Kimmeridge Bay Ledge To The Tower - a photo on Flickriver

On Sunday there was a Bognor Regis Camera Club day trip to Kimmeridge Bay in Dorset. The Bay is part of the UNESCO Dorset and East Devon World Heritage Jurassic Coast famed for its fossils. The Bay though has many interesting features including rock ledges which become exposed as the tide retreats making it a well known photographers location. We arrived early at 8.30 at high tide with the plan of following the tide out as various parts of the beach became exposed. Unfortunately although we escaped the rain it was one of those dull leaden skies days. I dealt with that in processing by bringing out more detail in land and sky and darkening the sky still more for drama. The tower on the cliff is Clavell Tower which was built as a folly in 1830. In 2006 when cliff erosion brought it too close to the edge £900,000 was spend to move it back to safety a brick at a time and convert it to a holiday home.

The picture was taken with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 13mm. Taken with a tripod using a BW 10 stop filter and a 25 second exposure. The picture was first processed in RAW using Capture One. More overall detail was brought in using Topaz Adjust including a little more saturation. Topaz Denoise was used for noise especially in the sky using a mask, A brightness adjustment layer was used with a mask to brighten the foreground. A vignette was used to darken some of the sky more.
