Land's End Rock
I travelled out to Land’s End on a stormy day to capture a series of images of of the coastline, that included the solitary Armed Knight Rock, that sits just a little way out to sea. Being out at the very edge of England meant that I was completely exposed to the elements – which was very windy with lots of rolling cloud cover.
In these conditions, I had to adapt with what the weather was doing to capture the best possible image. I could see that the wind was causing the waves to hit and spin off of the rock formation, so I set up a long exposure using a Lee filter to capture this movement, being careful to make sure the filter was not getting hit with sea spray, which would ruin the image.
Over time you can see the swirl of water around the rock as the white surface spray breaks and moves with the wind. This powerful vortex shape emphasises the rock as the centre-piece, which I gave further balance by cropping into a square frame to create this piece, Land’s End Rock.
