Having seen loads of great photos featuring Porthcurno's golden sand and crystal clear water these past summers, the location had been on my to-do list for a while. Although the summer sunrise and sunset trajectories don't suit how I do things!
This morning though - with low tide just after sunrise, the winter sunrise trajectory adjacent to the cove, and a forecast of thin cloud - conditions were just how I like them! So I took my first visit to the beach.
Rain showers persisted during the duration of the hour-long drive. But luckily, it stopped just before I arrived on location. My car was the only car to be parked in the large beach car park - which I'd imagine is bursting in the summer!
This image was composed with a stream as foreground interest - and lead in line sweeping up to the sea, colourful sky and interestingly shaped rocks to the left of frame.
A Lee hard grad filter balanced the bright sky with the land below - while a Lee Big Stopper (10 stop ND filter) enabled a 60 second exposure to soften the running water with the added effect of blurring the moving clouds.
(I toyed with a 2-1 crop, but decided to leave as is) :)
