Location - Portland Bill, Dorset Year Taken - January 2015 Camera - Canon 5d MKiii Lens - Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Exposure - 63 seconds ISO - 200 Aperture - f/11 Filters - Lee Circular Polariser, ND Grad 0.9 and ND Big Stopper Ok, its not an ocean, its a sea :). So today I decided to meet up with a photographer friend named Matt and take some images of the raw coastline of Portland Bill. I say friend, Id never actually met him before, though before you start to think that I meet strange men on random parts of British coastland, let me explain. Matt is a young photographer who has been published in the Mail, the Telegraph and the Mirror. He is a very good photographer indeed and a few weeks ago, we started talking about photography of Dorset. In the end, we decided to meet up and spend the day taking photos of this rather beautifully ugly part of the country. I say beautifully ugly, its a really hard place to qualify with a single adjective. Portland is an island, sort of, that is connected to the mainland via a causeway that as you are crossing, looks like you are entering a concentration camp. It rises up on a giant hill that is adorned with cascaded council flats that glare down at you with menacing scorn. The roads twist and turn, loose rocks litter the footpaths and once you clear the town, you could be mistaken for thinking you were in Greenland. It really is that barren, Craggy Island barren. I mean there is nothing, about from deserted fields and stone walls. Anyway, this all changes when you hit the other side of the island. You are greeted by a coastline that actually looks the 150million years that its lived. Its broken and crumbling, weathered and gnarled. The sea cuts into the rock face with anger and the waves crash up above your head with a roar. The water rumbles like thunder and the sky goes from pink to blue to red in a moment. We ventured as close to the edge as we dared, the winds were high and the sea was rough. The seagulls cried and circled around us, almost certainly waiting for one of us to die. Thankfully we didn't, and I came home with this rather pretty photo :). |
