Sunset at Golden Cap
24th October 2010
On the way home I managed to buy an SD card and headed of to Charmouth beach. The sun was setting and lighting up the cliffs of Stonebarrow and Golden Cap, and off in the distance behind them, those of West Bay, Freshwater and Burton Bradstock.
I was using my old Nikon D50 with its 18-55 kit lens, so I was a bit limited, so I chose to use the 10-stop B+W filter to help slow things down and add some movement into the scene.
Unfortunately, as the sun set, the clouds disappeared which was a shame, but the golden light as the sun went down really made the whole shoreline glow.
A few people were milling around and these were turned into ghosts with the 10-30 second exposure times.
This is a shot I have been wanting to do for a while, but I really want to go back with the D90, Lee Filters and do it properly. I missed the Sigma lens here tonight and really wantd to get close into the rocks in the foreground and the water swirling around them.
