John, glad to see you are back safe!. I think your trip was well worth it to come back with images like these, I love the contrast between white waves, frothing spray, and dark sky aloft all captured in perfect exposure. I can feel the wind just looking at them. The 1st and last images are my favourite, with the 1st looking like a nasty squall and last has captured a great sense of motion and power in the Sea

Cheers Martin. Yes, I do like the first one too - quite menacing. I posted these and my comments about the waves being higher here before I saw the lighthouse photos (New Haven) . What a video !! had I known that lighthouse was there I'd have gone to New Haven as I've been looking for a lighthouse for ages - never mind maybe next time but it's been done now. I've got my eye on Penleven and Portreath, Cornwall. Southerlies, south westerlies and westerlies will do the job there but it's an overnight stop- 10 hours driving there and back - maybe I'll go to New haven after all Lol. 6 hours return.

Great shots John, you're much braver than I!. #3 and 4 are great with the wave action but the clouds somehow catch my eye in #5 even though the turbulent waves are less noticeable. Any special in-camera program or style for #5, very dramatic contrast, almost reminds me of a painting. That could almost pass for the moon hidden behind those clouds.

Some lovely dramatic scenes captured there John. I like no. 4 the way it looks like the sun is shining on the back of the wave as it hits that rock and no. 5 is a superb shot with a great sky.

Thanks for comments.
Richard. I used a 2-stop grad filter to reduce the sky exposure and thus preserve the exposure of the seas. I often use it.I have a 1-stop and also two ND filters. I'll use them when I find a waterfall.
