From a series of long exposure photos which illustrate a period of 'reflection' during a visit to Cornwall last autumn. My intention was to produce a selection of 'dreamy' images and for the viewer to look out beyond the shoreline to an imagined destination.

I first saw this amazing scenery in a photo by the very talented Iñaki, and when I realised it was close enough to where we were staying to be able to visit for an evening I knew I had to go. Aside from this incredible rock formation ("The Cathedral"), the place, which sits between the fishing town of Bermeo and the smaller village, Bakio, is also home to the historic chapel of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe - a small hermitage which sits alone atop a small rocky island connected to the mainland by a narrow stone footbridge. The chapel itself is nearly one thousand years old and has featured in a number of historic events throughout its life. There is also a second island close by, called Aketx/Aketze, which also makes a good photographic subject. I had a great time shooting around the whole area until darkness and an oncoming storm forced us to leave...
The shot:
- Canon EOS 5D Mark II
- Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM @ 28mm
- 3 bracketed exposures of 8, 15 and 30 seconds @ f/10, ISO200, Manual mode
- B+W Circular Polariser (no grads as I'd broken the one I'd have used, and no ND filters as I'd lost my cable release so couldn't do bulb exposures)
- Manfrotto 190XB tripod with 322RC2 joystick grip ball head
Processing:
- WB and tonal adjustments in Adobe Camera Raw
- Three exposures hand-blended using luminosity masks
- Selective Curves to darken the foreground (I wanted the long exposure for the smooth water but this left the foreground unnaturally bright)
- 50% grey layer for dodging and burning through luminosity selections
- Contrast boost with a Gradient Map layer in Luminosity mode
- Colour adjustment with Selective Color
- Colour boost with a Hue/Saturation layer through a saturation mask
- Global Curves layer for a bit of "pop"
- Resized and sharpened with Smart Sharpen
Very long exposure at blue hour, just a few moments before dawn, on a cloudy and warm day.
These large rocks in the sea, known as "The Friars", create a totally magical place.
I must admit, that as a first impression, it's like meeting with some gods still asleep.

Now that wedding season is over, I guess i'am ready for landscape season. How about waking up mr. winter? Sick of summertime and flat blue skies. This is one of those days when the sea is calm and water movements seem to obey to some kind of classical tune, they are very harmonious.

This dawn, I decided to take an extraction of these rocks with a long exposure.
When I got home and saw the result to process the image, I found seven large monsters emerging from the depths of the sea.

I wanted to get a long exposure of this one but gale force winds, sea spray on the lens and severe camera shake put a stop to that.
This is by far the moodiest weather I've experienced when shooting down on the south coast, but I loved every minute of it!

Sea is open and water is really vivid right now. I used polarization filter to bring out the rocks under the water.

A bit over processed this one....but a little artistic licence is allowed on occasions! :-)
Thanks for looking and thanks also for all the very welcome comments on my previous images.
