On the edge

Explore #2 - 18/07/17

The old engine houses of the Crown mine perched precariously on the cliff face, located near to the little village of Bottallack, South West Cornwall.

One of my favourite locations along the Cornish Coast, unless you were walking the coast path or came here deliberately you would never know these were here such is their position tucked away at the base of some high cliffs just above sea level, you can actually get into both of the engine houses via a little track alongside the cliff then by climbing down and old iron ladder set into the rock, I didn't bother on this occasion as I was just after better shots of the buildings since my last visit a few years ago.

With a bit of a breeze blowing along here you get a lot of movement in the waves against the cliffs, wanting to capture the detail in them I opted for a 3 stop filter / polarizer combo giving me a ideal speed of 2 seconds to capture the detailed wave movement in the sea, avoiding a longer expsoure that would render it flat.

The whole are along this stretch of coast is utterly amazing and would reccomend it to anyone who hasn't been down here, you can see why UNESCO have awarded it world heritage status.
