Pulpit Morning Pastels - a photo on Flickriver

            Cape Schanck | VIC | Australia

On this morning, I pulled up in near darkness at the Cape Schanck lighthouse carpark to the sound of pouring rain. I thought to myself, "I probably won't be shooting anytime soon. Oh well, at least I tried". As the darkness started to fade ever so slightly, the rain turned intermittent. Another car pulled up a few car parks away. Then three guys with torches got out, headed to the track towards Pulpit Rock, and disappeared. Five minutes later they returned, got in their car and took off again. Strange. I'm not sure what they were doing as they had neither camera nor fishing gear - just torches. I guess they were sightseeing, and decided that they didn't want to chance the rain.

That was my cue to get my wet weather clothing on, grab my camera and head off. By the time I made it to Pulpit Rock the rain had eased right off, with just the heavy cloud cover remaining. The low tide allowed me to get up and personal with the Pulpit, so I set up right near the channel where the water was at its most hectic. Several times I had to quickly grab my tripod and face my back towards the spray, shielding the camera lens. Thankfully I was able to get a shot I really like without damaging my equipment, nor getting washed out to sea!

This is a single frame 1.3 second exposure shot at f/16, ISO 100 @ 22mm using the Sony "FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G" lens on a Sony A7RIII. For filters I used a NiSi 0.9 (3 stop) soft grad, and also a NiSi circular polariser.
