ð Marazion, Cornwall

Having stepped away from shooting seascapes for a short while it dawned on me that maybe my workflow was a little too formulaic.  I'd always either shoot a with a dragged shutter to show movement around the rocks, or with a long exposure to flatten the sea. 

But here, I decided to ditch the formula and look for compositions further back from the wave action (albeit small wave action on this visit). 

NOTES ON THE COMPOSITION...
- I looked to include the vibrant green seaweed in the foreground which is echoed by the grass bank on the mount.
- The large rock to the bottom left of frame is my "foreground anchor" - a start point to view the picture from (maybe I could have raised the tripod a little to isolate it in the water, although that would have given more real estate to mid-ground negative space at the expense of that fantastic sky!).
- The rock pools form a natural lead in line towards the mount. I don't tend to use my polariser to cut through water in situations like this as I want that seam of highlight running through as a lead in and to balance the bright tones of the of sky.
- The mount, positioned centrally on the third, is my focal point. I timed the shot when the glow of the rising sun side-lit the the mount and castle.
