Chasing the Light: Preston Marina

Paul Iddon

I do not do landscapes (I do macro 98% of the time)...




Preston Marina this evening.

Had to Chase the Light, as it were... I was on my way into the city centre when I thought there's a sunset over there might be worth a look.

Five minutes after this and the blues had all but gone a murky yucky hue and the sun was gone...

Hand held (tripod was at home)...

Great shot, Paul. Macros are just landscapes on a smaller scale.

For a 1/2 second exposure, either the IS works amazingly well on that lens, or you're a rock. Keep up the good work.

Sshh, I had a bean bag to help... but had to lean across metal fencing so was holding on tight so as to not lose the gear in the drink!

Sounds like that would have been worth a picture right there!

Wow! Your hands must be made out of carbon fiber to get this sharp of an image with 0.5 second exposure!:jawdrop

I might have forgotten to mention the bean bag - but I was holding it arms outstretched!
