Llandudno Pier at Dawn

Posted by
Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 21 May 2012 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Photographed last month in the company of our own Ryan Hammond from Aminus3 on a photo workshop along the NW coast of Wales and England.

The weather was forever changing during the weekend which occasionally led to wonderful light and cloud formations - absolutely ideal for landscape photography!

The main bits of extra 'equipment' needed to get this shot at low tide beside the victorian pier at Llandudno were waterproof 'wellington' boots as we needed to wade out a bit into the sea; a neutral density filter to allow a slow shuuter speed (2 seconds in this case) and of course a tripod.

NIKON D700 2 seconds F/16.0 ISO 200 16 mm (35mm equiv.)

Back to your basics !
As usual, very beautiful. I like the sexy idea of waterproof Wellington boots.

It's so perfect that I can say anything else than either describe it, the clouds, the pier, the precision of each details, the reflections in water .... or to say I like it !!! Annierita
