Stormy weather

On Saturday we had another day of strong winds so I did the only sensible thing and headed out with the Hasselblad and 50mm Distagon. FP4+ was the film of choice.  

The Atlantic is of course hard to ignore at any time of the year - and particularly when the seas are big - but it’s a dangerous old place and I don’t get too close. Just a couple of weeks ago there was a group of four photographers who had to be rescued from the rocks at the Causeway, on account of an incident in stormy weather.  So on Saturday at the Whiterocks, just East of Portrush, I stayed up by the car park - although I spied a few people walking on the beach.  One advantage to being higher up was being able to include the marram grass as it was being buffeted by the wind.  Obligingly the sun came out for a few seconds and lit up the grass:

At the Whiterocks beach, Portrush, looking out towards the Skerries.  With a 10-stop ND filter this worked out about a 30 second exposure.  Developed in HC-110 (1:31, 9 minutes) and printed on Foma 133 paper.
