JACHIN ISLAND
F16, 30s, ISO64
I knew I wanted some long exposures shots – not
too long to completely blur the water to nothing
but enough to make it look like there was water
movement within the frame so that viewers can kind
of see movement but whilst still keeping the image
as real as possible which is my style – I try to keep
my images exactly how as I saw it and how others
will too, I don’t want people to go to locations and
be disappointed that the real life scene is not the
same as the photo. Sunset was nearing by now and
although the clouds above me looked great, ready to
light up, there was too much cloud on the horizon to
allow that to happen.
We stayed until sunset just in case something
happened, but it didn’t. I was still happy though, I was
able to capture something new and I could enjoy an
amazing place away from the city for a few hours.
Not capturing sunset gives me an excuse for another
trip here, maybe even a paddle around this area.
