Looking North - Sunset at Findhorn Beach

Waiting for the sun to set on the pebbled beach of Findhorn.  I looked around to discover potentially 3 or 4 scenes each giving a different illustration of the Scottish weather – at the same time!

Behind me to south the Cairngorms enjoyed clear blue skies. To east towards Burghead and Lossiemouth all was calm – the light wispy clouds were turning pink and reflecting in the sea.

But I was focused ahead, directly north, and that was a mixed picture – thick dark clouds hiding a amazing deep red sunset.  I wasn’t getting great results, perhaps it was the seals swimming close to the shore that were distracting me – so I switches lens and attempted something different.

ICM (intentional camera movement) involves panning with the camera at the slow shutter speed (this was 1.0 second).  I wanted to show the distinct layers of sea, mountain and sky and keep some definition.

I enjoyed practising the technique.
