Whitby Harbour, North Yorkshire
To view large on black www.psimage.co.uk/gallery2/order.php?image=2613024924&...
We ended our day trip to the coast in Whitby again. I'd been lured by the many tales about the best fish and chips in England being located at The Magpie in Whitby.
When we got there the queue was out the door and down the steps, so we made do with the Magpie takeaway instead. A disappointingly soggy portion of fish & chips awaited us but we were so hungry we didn't care.
Walking back to the car, parked on the west side hill of Whitby, I noticed a small gap in the buildings, where the road turns into a hair-pin bend, with this elevated view of the harbour. The light was just getting good so I dragged the image capturing equipment out of the car and grabbed this long-exposure.
UPDATE

So peaceful !!!!!!!
Corica (48 months ago | reply)
Thanks Basabus - It looks peaceful but it was in fact blowing a gale. The long exposure is very deceptive.

lovely, great work!

I am discovering long exposures only now. I have to say I am impressed by the effects you can obtain with it. What touches me the most is the contrast between the flowing and the static parts, like here.

Awesome Paul! AWESOME!!!
Nick Holland (48 months ago | reply)
Your processing is achieving some stunning colours. What you present is different from what other excellent photographers on here present. I can now spot a Corica masterpiece from the thumbnail alone, as I can with Flux, Minor, Greengage, Bristol Bound, Luka Skracic etc.
You are up there with exalted company!!
Corica (48 months ago | reply)
You forgot to include Mr Nick Holland in the exalted list, but with such a nice comment I'll let you off :-).
ChezneyA (on/off) (48 months ago | reply)
I love Whitby, haven't been for ages though. Beautiful capture as always. Thanks for you comments Paul truly appreciate it :-)

What sort of filters do you use for these type of shots, i was looking to do something similar (long exposure in daylight) but can't figure out which filters to use.
Salva del Saz (48 months ago | reply)
Evocative and magical atmosphere!
DazaT (48 months ago | reply)
Absolutly brilliant Paul, love the blue from the sky showing through, and that water effect your an expert at. You say you dragged the image capturing equipment out of the car, are the crocs now part of that said equipment ??
Tony Lea (48 months ago | reply)
Beautiful shot! Well done!
Corica (48 months ago | reply)
Daza - This was taken about 2 hours after I got drenched at Cayton Bay. I got a few stares from the locals because my jeans were still wet up to just below my knees and the boots still squleched. Had there been a purveyor of crocs open at the time I can probably say I would now be the proud owner of a pair, but only if they were in bright pink with yellow dots ;-)

uniB (48 months ago | reply)
great, a refreshing take on the usually black and white long exposure square sea photos going on at the moment. Lovely work indeed. Always wanted to try out Magpie but not got round to it, maybe won't bother after your review!

We are so lucky you didn't get the chips you wanted, so we could see this image!
Corica (48 months ago | reply)
At the time my mind was firmly fixed on the chips!
xinapray (48 months ago | reply)
Unanticipated prizes are the best, aren't they? I like the vastness of sea and sky that you have captured here.
Sorry about to hear about the F&C!
