Porthcurno Rushing Tide
Taken at one of Cornwall’s most famous beaches, the location of Porthcurno Rushing Tide Photography Print is one that is instantly recognisable to fans of the county. Naturally, I wanted to try and get Logan Rock in there as it’s such an iconic sight, and I was able to find a position that centred it really nicely within the frame. It was late afternoon and the sun was still relatively high in a nearly-cloudless sky, which meant I could make the most of the natural light and lovely blue hues too, profiting from conditions as dreamlike as the setting.
Using a ND filter and long exposure, I was able to capture the movement of the sea as it lapped the shore. Perhaps a lot calmer than a lot of my other work, the overall effect of Porthcurno Rushing Tide is quite peaceful, with the feathered effect of the moving water creating a really smooth transition between the sand, foam and deeper blues of the sea. Complemented by the soft, pastel palette of the sky and the gentle light of the sun hitting the rocks in the foreground, this image exudes a sense of calm and evokes a wistfulness that leads heart and mind back to the sea.
