In densely populated areas long exposures taken at night can suffer from light pollution - giving the images a yellow/orange tint - but looking out to sea at night you get different tones completely.
This image was taken at dusk on an overcast day, looking out to sea from Mevagissey Harbour. I’m not entirely sure what the light is on the horizon - it could have been a buoy bobbing about in the waves - but I think it was a boat as other fishing boats seemed to returning at the time.

In a number of previous posts I’ve mentioned just how much difference a few minutes can make to a scene. The above shot was taken on the first day of a recent holiday in Cornwall whilst we waited for our accommodation to become available.
I’ve become more interested in black and white than colour photography just recently and it seemed the perfect style to capture the old harbour. The sunlight was patchy at the time and I got the shot I was looking for, looking out to sea through the railings (see below), however just as I was preparing to move on the sun broke through the clouds and lit the scene perfectly. It was impossible to ignore the combination of colours in front of me so out came the red filter I’d been using and in went the ND grad to improve the sky.
