Hartland Quay

In NW Devon this is a long exposure (6mins) of the sea and rocks off Hartland Quay.
The light comes from the Hotel and Car park lights.
There are star trails, flattened out sea and top right is Lundy Island and its light house light.
I find noise can be a problem with these long exposures.

Pentax K-5
371s f/7.1 at 16.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Great detail on this long exposure. Love the star trails. The K-5 handles the noise very well. V

Very nicely exposed, lovely star trails and good lighting on the foreground rocks. I always use the camera noise removal which doubles the exposure but it's worth it.

Interesting idea and superb results.

I can picture you getting soaked and climbing slippery rocks for this picture.
Well done Pete.

Noise is a small price to pay for a luscious piece of magic like this.
And you had the imagination to capture it.
