Last week, on the last day of my trip to Wales, I visited Mumbles - and shot the much photographed Old Lifeboat Station that juts off the pier.
Arriving a few hours before sunset with a high tide, I grew increasingly doubtful that there'd be any colour in the sky at sunset.
With an overcast sky, I decided to get he camera out early and use the conditions to my advantage for a "different" minimal high-key style shot.
The red roof of the building provided a colourful focal point which I chose to position in the centre of the frame. I pushed the exposure to the right, taking care not to clip the highlights, to give a stark contrast. I also de-saturated the scene a little in post editing. A long exposure of 30 seconds flattened the water for a minimal look.
Canon 6D MkII | 24-105mm lens at 87mm | ƒ-11 | 30 sec | ISO 100 | Lee Big Stopper & Soft Grad filters | Tripod | Taken 14-08-2019 at Mumbles
