On the opposite side to the Durdle Door lies the Man o War beach, snapped this one when I was trekking back up to the caravan after a night shooting this shot.

5 Exposure HDR taken on Nikon D700 in Dorset UK

Just got back from our second trip to Dorset so I'm afraid that means a few more pictures of the Durdle Door from various angles lol.

There were lots of people on the beach but I decided to leave this one guy in to add a sense of scale :)

5 Exposure HDR taken on a D700 on a day trip this week. I recommend going to this cathedral as it is very photographer friendly, you are free to roam around (with tripod) and snap away as long as you're respectful to the other visitors :)

For ages now I've been meaning to get out and shoot some stars but living in Hertfordshire means I'm always surrounded by light pollution. This past week I've been in Dorset with my fiancee so I used it as a perfect excuse to try my hand at shooting stars.

They were taken at around 10pm at the Durdle Door on Wednesday using various settings, I only ended up with 2 shots I was happy with as it was a pain to get the right amount of starlight without blowing the shots.

I used the rule of 600 to see how long I would be able to keep my shutter open before the stars began to track and whacked the ISO from between 2500-6400. I also went out on Friday morning at 2am but unfortunately it was cloudy.

I shot this after the Twinkle Twinkle Durdle Door shot, about 20 minutes later actually and that small amount of time made a massive difference to the light. With the shots in the bag we stumbled back up the coastal path and back to the Caravan for a nice cup of tea!
