Fingal Head dawn

The lengths we go to for landscapes, hey? I knew of this location, but had never been there before. Set out in the dark to get there around 4am so I had time to scout out a location, set up, and do some tinkering before sunrise. Walking over the rocks in the dark and one rolled under me. Took a tumble, hard, sprained my finger, bruised my arm, and put my back out.

Still, I think it was worth it.

Had to us a 3 stop ND filter to get slow enough shutter speeds to smooth that water out in addition to a 3 stop reverse GND to tame the sky exposure. Only my second outing with GND filters. These are pretty much straight out of camera. Love them.

Any tips/critique appreciate.

they are all great but my favourite is the first one, love the colour of the sea.

My fav. is the second shot, would like to have seen it larger.

Well your pain certainly paid off. These are amazing captures. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think I like the colors and sky in #2 the best. Gorgeous location!

looking for tips? these are great, not sure how one would improve any of these
