Same old place again, The Herring Pond in Portstewart. Not that I've ever seen any herring there, mind you - but then I'm not in the water as much these days ;)
This one shows the natural breakwater formed by the rock formations, which is why it's quite a safe (ish) place for swimming and snorkeling. You might spot the metal steps on the left of the shot - the handrail on which you can balance atop and execute a perfect swallow dive into the water, to the gasps and admiration of onlookers, should you so desire...

I used a 10 stop ND filter on the 50mm Distagon, which gave me about an 8-second exposure, hence the fluffy waves & clouds. The other thing to remark on is how the lower rocks are almost white by comparison to the higher foreground ones - due, I presume, to being constantly washed by the salt water of the Atlantic.
Looks like a lovely spot to relax and listen to waves without being battered by them.
ReplyDeleteHaha - you're not wrong, Marcus.
