[Scotland 2017] Rocky Beach in the Morning, Isle of Eigg #2
One more rocky beach photo I captured on the same morning with the very long exposure of 161 seconds. I already told you that I don't like and usually avoid very long exposure, when shooting seascapes. But here once again I broke this rule and that's why:
The foreground I have chosen for this shot is very busy - stone ridge going into the sea, many small rocks, many harsh textures. Adding more textures of the waves will make foreground total mess. So I decided to use very long exposure and blur the water into milk shake to achieve strong contrast between textured rocks and smooth water.
While I decided to remove texture and motion from the water I needed to compensate it somehow. Very long exposure helps to beautifully blur the clouds and add lost sense of motion into the picture.
Also I noticed cool pyramid shaped mountain peak on the Isle of Rum in background, but it was always partly hidden by the clouds. How to render it on the photo and compliment my composition with such great element? Again - blur the clouds with very long exposure!
Enjoy!
