Week 14 – Ten Stop Castle Blocks

This place is somewhat special for me.. and I will revisit this in mid August but it is now my local beach! You would probably notice that I am indeed a sunrise man. So wait.. what? This is a sunset? Yep… this day I headed off from work at 4 after starting early at 8.. and caught the glimpse of some colour that I thought would make for a wonderful sunset. Now I am not normally one to rush down and pickup the camera on a whim but I raced into my house and down to the beach and setup.

I had long exposure on my mind as the tones from sunset was subtle but I knew they would change over time (i.e .. first shot might be purple, second pink, third orange if i was doing short exposures). I must have blogged this shot before.. anyway it made it into the project. I had a few around this exposure length but this worked best and popped with a bit of post processing. You will see the blur in the pool.. it was two guys who stood in the water for around 20 – 25mins just chatting the whole time I was shooting.. they stayed relatively still.
