Finally I managed to get out to do some photography....
We have had so many grey days this winter. Almost all the times which the weather has promised more it has been a workday. Horrible. This was the first promising day for a while and the weather came as a suprise having been forcast as another overcast one. It was a Monday, I phoned in to work and was awarded a days holiday. That was it, batteries charged, lunch packed, car loaded up, me off outta here.

This is on Dorset's Jurrasic Coast and this particular view is one which I have walked past inland many times and therefore missed. It is a super view and I spent most of 2 hours wandering about, sitting on clifftops and taking it in whilst the sun gradually fell to a point at which I could shoot.

I have spent all week attempting to process this. It has been really tricky to achieve it, or at least tricky to work out the best way (or easiest way...) I tried and failed twice and had to come up with a completely different plan. Luckily it worked and I was able to save some time by using one of the masks from the failed attempts to mask the same areas here.
I am not yet sure whether it was all worth it but I have certainly learnt some lessons, primarily to keep going. I am not sure it is perfect yet but I am fairly happy with it.
3 exposures, a frame to remove flare and at least 2 seperate RAW conversions to correct various bits.

Thanks. I would love to get a shot with the focus more on that part of the coastline but without being out on a boat there is no way to achieve it....

Lovely shot, lovely light. :) Alex is right about the rock in the foreground. Shame you could not get an extra few feet of height. What you need is a tall tripod and a step ladder!
