last chance saloon...

After an amazing weekend of early winter weather i took the opportunity to go and shoot a pretty spectacular sunset down at Clevedon.

This was the last shot of the day, mainly because the battery was nearly dead and the card was full....I took three shots and deleted the first two to make space for this...keeping an eye on the histogram to try and get a nice exposure...

I took a spot reading from the sky and dialled that into the camera in manual mode. After checking the focus, I slid a 0.9 grad filter to the horizon....got a boot full of water then tripped the shutter....checked the histogram then legged it up the beach/ rocks!

shutter - 6 secs
aperture - f22
filter - 0.9 grad
tripod
lens at 22mm
raw

I'm well chuffed with it...
