Although this summer hasn't been a great one, weather wise. It still comes out with a few surprises. A gloomy evening earlier this month I decided to scout out a new location just up from my local beach. As I walked up the cliff I noticed the light appearing through the clouds on the horizon and jumped into action and found the best spot to capture it.

The hut you can see on the right is a Pilot lookout used centuries ago to watch over boats entering and leaving Portreath harbour. A sort of primitive lighthouse/coastwatch.

Development

This is a three shot vertical pano to get a more wideangle view of the scene. I braketed two exposures one for the sky and the foreground I used a 2 stop filter to reduce the transition of the sky, so I don't have to spend too much time blending. Stiched in PTgui and Photoshop

Location

Portreath, Cornwall, UK
