Weybourne in Autumn

I've not been able to update the blog recently, having been very busy in the Saltmarsh and Samphire gallery of late. But I did find time to get out the other day with my camera kit, and head to Weybourne, on the North Norfolk Coast. It's a lovely place, with a wonderful pebble beach, and cliffs, (albeit small ones) as far as the eye can see. With a northerly wind producing impressive waves that crashed onto the beach at regular intervals, a fine spray kicking into the air, the place certainly had a wild feel to it, especially with the relentless procession of autumnal storms that kept passing through.    

Balancing the exposure between the sky and the sea, required a 2 stop hard grad. Using an ISO of 200, an aperture of F22, (I know, not ideal) resulted in a shutter speed of 1/10 sec, enough to show movement within the sea, which is what I was after. ISO 100 and aperture of F16 would have been possible, but on the Fuji X-T1, this would have meant no Raw file, which is something I will always try and capture if I can. Saying that, the Fuji's jpeg files are so damn good straight out the camera, this wouldn't have been a complete disaster. I was fortunate that the rainbow appeared when it did, as another storm scuttled across the leaden sky, and this for me compliments the image.
