Hi everyone
Port-Aleen bay is a small bay situated near Torr Head in North Antrim. I took it on a trip with 2 photographer friends of mine. One of them has an old VW camper van and we slept at the location the night before. It was such a windy night that the ban rocked incessantly. Although it was very soothing we didn't sleep that much. We rose before sunrise and sleepily walked down to the water. It was very windy and the wind was coming in off the sea, which meant the lens on the camera had to be well protected otherwise it became quickly covered in salt water. Not easy when the exposures were up to ninety seconds. As I took my images the sun burst through just after rising and it was quite spectacular. This is the 3rd photo I took. The rays of sunshine lit up the sky for quite a while. I than walked up to Torr Head to get a shot I had imagined from the evening before. Unfortunately I was almost blown off the cliff!! I did however manage to get a nice photo.
is a video of what happened where you can see the emit behind the camera.
I captured the image using my H3D 39 back on my digitar wide DS with a 47mm Schneider and a 3 stop ND to slow things down.
