CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

We took a trip out to Seacliffe beach on Tuesday evening and while sitting on the sand watching the scene before us we spotted two fishing boats heading across the bay towards North Berwick. The two trawlers looked so small against Bass Rock and the Isle of May and the low cloud cover added a sense of drama to the scene.  The gannets circling above The Bass can be clearly seen on the image above. The last shot was taken on our return to Dunbar.  We spotted a square rigged vessel moored just off cliffs at Winterfield, with one of the big tankers, that has been moored off Dunbar for three weeks, in the background with a small fishing boat weaving its way between the two larger vessels.

After two days stuck behind my computer writing editorial copy, a beautiful still evening  had me grabbing my camera bag and heading out to Barns Ness for a bit of fresh air and photography.  The reward was a beautiful scene across the bay at White Sands as the sun set behind my right shoulder. Using a 3 stop ND filter and a 3 stop Lee ND Grad I managed to slow the shutter down to 8.5 seconds so the calm sea turned completely flat.  Placing the lighthouse in the top third of the frame produced a pleasing composition which is very simple and effective. I have plenty more images from the 30-minutes I spent out at Barns Ness and now I have recharged my batteries to continue writing for the upcoming FIA World Endurance Championship and European Le Mans Series season which starts in a couple of weeks at the Circuit Paul Ricard in the south of France.
