Cape Banks Sunrise Reprise…

by on May.21, 2017, under Life, Photography

The photographic options at Cape Banks were so good I decided to get up early the next morning and do a sunrise reprise.

I know this one looks like it’s daylight here – however to the naked eye it was quite dark and this is a natural long exposure at the edge of twilight. Taken from the headland just in front of the lighthouse looking out over these fantastic rocks and the sea.

NIKON D750 + 28.0-300.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 42 mm, 277 sec at f/8, ISO 400

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.

Now out on the rocks looking back at the headland and the lighthouse. I’m standing just in front of the first pile of “rocks” which tower behind me. This is a stitched panorama comprised of five (5) vertical frames, with the sun struggling to punch through the overcast skies.

NIKON D750 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 19 mm, 30 sec at f/11, ISO 100 x 5 Frames

Now up on top of the rock pile (perhaps 8 metres up) looking back at the headland. A Lee LittleStopper long exposure dragged out to over six minutes. Overcast skies turned to nice long streaks overhead – thankfully the wind (and thus the moving clouds) were heading in just the right direction for me.
