Glory - a photo on Flickriver

Glory

I've just had a great trip down onto the South Coast of Dorset, one of my favourite places in the UK and not somewhere I'd been to for ages, the trip was a mixture of photography and also a recce for locations as later in the year I hope to come back in Autumn and Winter.

Summer long days and weather aren't always ideal for photography but there's no better place to be than on the coast, life down here is really slow and very chilled out and it's not hard to fall into the I can't be bothered moving from this spot mentality ! This evening, although really pleasant had looked quite poor from a photography point of view with the sky being bereft of any cloud to catch possible sunset colours but I decided to have a go anyway as I'd picked up some new kit namely a new tripod/head and filter kit the day before so I wanted to test them out, the gear is absolutely fantastic and for anyone who may be interested, details can be found below in the text.

As it happened as sunset progressed clouds just magically appeared drifting through the scene allowing for the colours to display themselves right across the sky, the exposure time on this of eight and a half minutes has given the scene a truly surreal feel and allowed the colour in the sky to drag right the way across the frame. If you zoom in, The Isle of Wight can be seen on the horizon just off left of center.

It wouldn't be me though if there wasn't some form of blunder or mishap whilst shooting, and this day was absolutely no different... I was actually sat on the groyne here while I was shooting, I watched the Weymouth to Guernsey ferry go past about a mile in the distance, I remember thinking yeh that won't show up during these long exposures... what I didn't think about was that about 5 minutes later the wash off it would come pounding into the beach without warning, and yes, I got absolutely saoked and covered in seaweed, much to the amusement of some kids walking past on the promenade.... you'd think I'd learn having been done with this before but nooooo.
