Kimmeridge Bay

Kimmeridge Bay

Dorset’s Jurassic Coast is a 40 minute drive away. Wildlife photography is my first love, but I have been inspired to try some landscape photography, particularly long exposure seascapes. Kimmeridge Bay is just along the coast from the more famous Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove.

This is my first serious attempt. I used a 10 stop ND filter on a 20 mm lens, a tripod and remote shutter release. I held the shutter open for 104 seconds. It wasn’t windy so the vegetation in the foreground hardly moved. The sea state was calm, but what movement there was has been smoothed and a line of rock just breaking the surface in the bay is clearly visible.
