G H O S T - S H I P
I've just returned from another of my visits to South Wales. Last time in the summer, conditions were a challenge but I coped pretty well. This time - the flat overcast skies sapped my motivation and concentration more than I'd like. Oh well, I did grab a few photos worth sharing - starting with this one!...
Conditions at Rhossili were very different from my first visit last summer. On this occasion I was faced a flat, colourless sky and an incoming high tide.
So, I decided to use the elements to my advantage to make a minimalist image of the Helvetia wreck on the beach.
I fully extended the tripod to look down on the wreck as much as possible to show the shape of the ship.
As the tide came in, I popped off a few long exposures to flatten the sea - in order to exaggerate the minimal scene.
I was a little concerned that my tripod might have sunk a little as the waves gently lapped its feet - causing unwanted blur... but I think I got away with that!
