Super thrilled with this year's autumn colours. Loving this fallen tree with the golden leaves holding on and the contrast with the surrounding pine trees.

The Old Lady of Brighton

The Old Pier of Brighton, burned down many years ago, still stands defiant in the sea.

Some epic winds on the beach trying to get this shot, could barely get the tripod stable especially with a long exposure. The wind was head on as well, so sea spray was hitting the camera and lens hard, and I was wiping down the lens every minute to try keep it dry. Failed with that, the final shot had a lot of blotches, which I took a while to clean up in Photoshop, some of them still in the final image.

I made sure that everything was lined up perfectly, each post had to have the same gap between them and also perfectly level camera meant the posts didn't lean back or converge as they will do if the camera angle is even slightly angled down or up.

I'm happy with the result, I didn't do such a long exposure to completely render out the sea, well almost, but there is still some movement captured as water texture.

Super Blood Wolf Moon

Here's my transition shot of the Super Moon Eclipse. For this shot to work successfully I needed to research. I didn't just want a shot of the moon as I feel that is better achieved by astronomers equipment. For me, showing the moon over a landscape feels more my thing.

I know of this location, an old ruin of an Abbey far enough from the light polluted London. I scouted the location the day before and made decisions about composition, lens choice and other technical details.

All I needed was some good weather. And, this being England, I woke up at 0330, checked the cloud cover data and it said it was 68-100% during the time I would be shooting. I almost called it off to go back to sleep, but dragged myself out of bed anyway and drove an hour to this location.

It was -3 and pitch, pitch black, becasue the cloud were obscuring the moon, I walked 10 minutes to my spot, set up the camera on a tripod and spent 10 minutes sorting out critical focus. In pitch dark, it's all trial and error.

Once the focus was sorted, I tweaked the exposure settings I would need and waited. Really a stroke of luck, the cloud cover lightened up as the eclipse started. with the moon becoming very clear for moments and clouded over intermittently. I shot, with the camera locked in position, for nearly 2 hours, finally calling it a day at 6am and heading home.

The final shot needed to be a trail of the moon as it moved across the sky. At 32mm focal length, the moon is too small in the frame to have a lot of impact as a single shot.

I have stacked multiple shots as they are recorded in camera with regard to the position of the moon. I also needed a extra shot of the Abbey in focus as it wasn't sharp with the focus of the moon.

Alert!!⠀
I got out to location about a week too early when I was scouting for this, so as the beautiful flowering only lasts a couple of weeks it was crucial I had a good sunrise on the days I was able to come here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Waiting for a sunrise that didn't happen - Happens to us all doesn't it? We could go home, or we could shoot anyway.⠀

We had no plans on stopping at this location - it's not even really a 'location' just a pond we spotted on the side of the road in the south of Iceland. It's already nearly 10pm and we had been on the road for over 12 hours and really keen on finding the hotel and getting some sleep, but this really called to us and we stayed for a few minutes. This is a 5 shot stitched panoramic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
