The Durdle Door Sunrise and Moonrise

By Wayne Humphrey | Published Sunday, 11th, Dec, 2011

Having had many return trips to the Durdle door down at lulworth in Dorset I have final captured the sort of shot I was after.
My first rip here was in march 2009 and I have been back about 20 times just really to pull of these 2 shots, I have a few other angles and not some not so great images ruined by 1 thing or another which i may post later.
The durdle door is a natural rock arch on the Jurassic coast or Dorset and next to the “man of war” which is a name for a rock formation just around the corner (literally).
The sunrise was spoiled slightly by excessive cloud, but i stuck around and had to just go for it.

Littlehampton West Beach Long Exposure & Sunset

By Wayne Humphrey | Published Sunday, 4th, Dec, 2011

Being stuck at home and bored is no fun, so despite feeling a bit ill i wrapped up warm and headed out to West Beach at Littlehampton. I had been here before to scope out the location for a possible sunrise shoot. This is probably the best time of year for sunsets on the south coast due to the position of the sun, that said yesterday the clouds were against me. I struggled to find the right composition for a decent sunset that was interesting and i think i will only be going back here for sunrise at somepoint in the future.

Here we have 2 long exposures 30 seconds + each and a ‘natural’ shot at normal shutter speed.

Elmer Beach Long Exposure

By Wayne Humphrey | Published Saturday, 5th, Nov, 2011

Taken down at Elmer beach yesterday had some time inbetween jobs so i thought i would bust out the camera.
Since getting a big stopper i havent really used it that much which is a crime in itself really.
The big stopper is a bit of black glass that allows you to keep the shutter open on the camera for extreme amounts of time even in daylight without over exposing the photo but allowing all things moving to blur.
Here are 2 examples of what you can do, both images are 2 mintue exposures ( normal exposure time for this type of shot would be 1/30th of a second, so that makes these shots 3600 times longer than they should be.

Hampshire Sunflower field at Sunset

By Wayne Humphrey | Published Thursday, 25th, Aug, 2011

An unexpected call and an unexpected free evening, looking out the window it looked like a mega sunset was on the cards, but on arrival at this stunning location in rural Hampshire the clouds descended upon this stunning landscape.
I tried several different filter styles for this shot all not producing amazing results so this is a composite image from 2 shots under and over exposed blended in photoshop
