Sunset at Clifton Beach, Tasmania
Posted by Alex on February 16, 2010
As the cloud slowly rolled in throughout the afternoon, I made plans to take a drive and get some photos somewhere. As I arrived at Clifton I realised I had brought my broken tripod, fantastic! I wanted to capture at least one photo of the beautiful clouds so I laid over the rocks, positioning the camera on a rock and snapped away.
This is a 1.3″ second exposure at F.13 with the Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 17-40 and Cokin Z-Pro graduated neutral density filters to control the exposure of the sky.
Recently I wrote a small buying guide for neutral density filters that you may want to look at (click).

Another great shot Alex. Perfect exposure length to get a nice amount of movement in the water. Well composed also…

Another inspiring shot! Whichj end of the beach was this?
I took your advice and bought a B&W 10-stop. In the UK at the moment so picked it up locally to bring home next week. Your guide to long exposures earlier this week was very timely, thanks a lot.

Thanks Paul! This was captured on the main end of Clifton at a low tide, I was lucky to be able to walk around the rocks which is normally difficult.
Be sure to send through some photos when you get going with the B+W, would love to see. Glad you enjoyed the guide.

Really awesome photo, rarely a better “beach” photo…they kinda tend to look all the same, but this one surprised me!
