📍 Crantock 🌊☀️🌊

Here's another photo from that fruitful trip to Crantock last month. So if you love Crantock, keep an eye out for more posts. And if you just can't stand this beach, please bear with me haha!

As I wandered the dunes looking for pathways to lead the eye into the frame, I stopped to instead take this shot overlooking the bay. It's not my usual style, but I was drawn to the colour of the sky reflecting in the wet sand.

Techy stuff: Wherever possible I like to keep my ISO fixed on 100 to optimise image quality. With the camera on a tripod, low light isn't often a problem as the shutter can stay open for a few seconds if needed. But here, the rushes in the foreground were blowing in the wind - requiring the ISO to be dialled up to 400 for a faster shutter speed to "freeze" the rushes. There's a little motion blur to some which I think I can get away with :)

Canon 6D MkII | 24-105mm lens at 24mm | ƒ-14 | 1-15 sec | ISO 400 | Tripod | ND grad filter | Lightroom & Photoshop | Taken at Crantock Beach on 12-07-2021
