  • Picture of the day
  • Samsung GX-10
  • 18-55mm
  • Shooting Style Tripod
  • Shoots Number Multiple Exposure
  • Exposures Number -2, 0, +2
  • Editing Software Photomatix Pro
  • File Format RAW
  • Notes This was an absolute nightmare to take,with high winds and driving rain. The camera was bouncing around on the tripod. 3 exposure HDR @ 2 EV. Exposure times were 1/3 sec, 1.5 sec and 6 sec. at f8 and ISO 800. Not exactly the best settings for low noise. Each of the RAW's had noise reduction done on them before passing to Photomatix for processing. Further noise reduction done to tidy up the clouds which were moving fast across the sky.

When the tide is high and there are strong winds this causeway gets battered by waves
