South Newport Tidal Pool @ Sunrise…
by Rodney Campbell on Mar.18, 2013, under Life, Photography
Joined the FOCUS Flickr group for a dawn seascape shoot at South Newport Tidal Pool over the weekend followed by some great breakfast company at a local cafe.
It was a lovely morning to be out – the weather was very kind – a T-Shirt morning even at 6AM, very little wind and some nice cloud formations in the sky.
Note: These images (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
This first is a 2 minute long exposure at a quarter past 6 (about 35 minutes before sunrise) – taken with the 16-35/4 at 18mm @ f/11 and ISO 100 – with the Lee 0.9 hard grad and the Heliopan CPL
Newport Streaks
NIKON D600 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 18 mm, 120 sec at f/11, ISO 100
NIKON D600 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 18 mm, 120 sec at f/11, ISO 100 + Lee 0.9 Grad ND + Heliopan CPL
For the following I had to bump the ISO (to 800) and open the aperture a little so I could get a faster shutter speed – I wanted texture in the water movement and not misty milk this time
Peachy
NIKON D600 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 20 mm, 1/2 sec at f/9, ISO 800
NIKON D600 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 20 mm, 0.5 sec at f/9, ISO 800 + Lee 0.9 Grad ND + Heliopan CPL
Just on sunrise and we were getting varied colour in the sky at this stage
Stranded
NIKON D600 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 19 mm, 1/2 sec at f/11, ISO 200
NIKON D600 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 19 mm, 0.4 sec at f/11, ISO 200 + Lee 0.9 Grad ND + Heliopan CPL
and a little after sunrise the clouds were getting heavier but we had a nice show of god rays on the horizon
Ebb and Flow
NIKON D600 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 22 mm, 1/2 sec at f/11, ISO 100
NIKON D600 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 22 mm, 0.4 sec at f/11, ISO 100 + Lee 0.9 Grad ND + Heliopan CPL
and finally I returned to an earlier composition I liked with the rocks in the sand along the beach and coastline – and now with a moody sky and the conditions right for the shutter speed I wanted. 16-35/4 at 18mm and 1/4sec @ f/11 and ISO 100
Stormy Coast
NIKON D600 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 18 mm, 1/4 sec at f/11, ISO 100
NIKON D600 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 18 mm, 1/4 sec at f/11, ISO 100 + Lee 0.9 Grad ND + Heliopan CPL
