I had been doing a 1-2-1 tuition day based at Worm&#8217;s Head and Mewslade Bay. It can be a long day as I normally start at 9.00am, so some clients after a few hours have had enough of my chatter and leave late afternoon. This was one of those days and I wish my client had been able to stay longer as the sky turned from a promising sight to grey cloud and then back to stunning sunset!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m calling this image Bay of Fire, as the orange colour and cloud patterns remind me of fire. This is a pretty straight forward shot, with only a 0.6ND (2 stop) graduated filter placed over the sky and then exposed for the silhouette of the headland. Camera white balance was on daylight, which seems to be the setting I use mostly these days as it mimics the colour temperatures that I used to see in my film images.<\/p>\n<p>There were quite a few other photographers present at this time, and I noticed that nobody apart from myself tried any other image than horizontal. It is always worth trying to take horizontal and vertical images of a subject if possible, sometimes you can be surprised with the results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After travelling on the road for a few weeks, I was nice to come back home to scenes like this.
