Tywyn Beach @ Sunset 20th Janaury

[Darren Turner]

what a miserable day its been here in southern snowdonia, i popped to coast as i need some bits & bobs so i took camera just in case, as sun was setting this is all i got ( & my 366 image for today)

then within 2 mins later the whole horizon / sky was illuminated fiery orange, was bit of a shock but i am glad i had the camera

Whoa!! Amazing again Darren!
How long was the exposure? In fact, what's the settings on the last shot?

 

[Darren Turner]

Cheers DD,

Canon 7D

Manual Mode
Exposure 2 seconds,
F/22
ISO 100
Shady WB (helps make the real orange sunset skies even warmer / orangey)
2 Graduated Cokin Square ND Filters (Gradual Grey Medium ND Filter & Gradual Grey Light ND filter)

that's it really just a little contrast & sharpen in LR

this is all i got

Eh,...!? These are smashin' foties, Darren.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

He was being modest!

Flippin' amazing colours Darren

#2 is my fave - you have the sea nice and milky with a bit of motion, but you still have a nice wet beach to reflect the sunset

So how did you have the two grads set-up then?

 

[Darren Bradley]

These are beautiful. Fantastic colors.

 

[Brodie Jackson]

Absolutely love these, Daz!
They'd look lovely in frames hanging around my room.. How much are you charging?

 

[Darren Turner]

Cheers folks

What I was getting at was.... Assume they are grad filters? were they both on at the same time?

Did one grad cover the sky and the other the ground?

Just trying to figure out how you used two at once!

 

[Darren Turner]

oooooo right i understand you know

In the kit there where 3 strengths of ND Grad, i used the 2 strongest, dark side up for the sky, levelled more or less with horizon.

i suppose the 3rd could be upside down if need be to help get slower shutter speeds for foreground.

Seem to work anyhow, cos it was all an experiment i didnt really have a clue lol
