the seaside

This week’s image is one I’m really, really proud of.  Really!

The weather hasn’t been great for photography, so when I saw a recent break from the forecast drizzle, I headed to one of my favourite locations – Mumbles.  Or more precisely, Limeslade Bay.

I’ve taken hundreds of images here, but there’s always something new to capture, and I settled on this gap between 2 rocks where the incoming tide was being funnelled through making for some lovely patterns.

6 seconds at f14, ISO 100

Tripod, remote shutter release, Lee 6-stop neutral density filter, Formatt Hitech 3-stop reverse graduated filter

And after a half hour or so in the cold, I then escaped to the lovely café just above the bay for a coffee and some toast.

Bliss!
