Constantine Bay and Bedruthan Steps sunset last day in Cornwall july 2014

Our last day in Cornwall , we are going to Constantine Bay for a day on the beach , it is going to be a hot sunny day :)             Having parked at Treyarnon Bay we are walking around the coastal path towards Constantine.

                                   Superb coastline all around Cornwall with the wild flowers.

                                       We can see the beach now , looks quite busy already!

 On to the beach , walked to the far end where it is quieter , the rocks over to the right separate Constantine and Booby's bay.

                                the Bodmin Beasts are covered in sand  Ooops lol

                        
                                                                   Washed off now :)

                                 Haha  fast shutter speed to freeze the water drops :)

 Jan has been in for a swim , and now while she reads i am going to try a few long exposure images on the rocks with Mollster.

                                             8 seconds exposure with 10 stop nd filter

                                                                           17 seconds

                                                                          25 seconds

    Time to head back now after a good day in the sun , hopefully will get a sunset tonight somewhere.

                                                           The view from the caravan :)

       We have decided to go back to Bedruthan Steps for the evening , hope to get a good sunset :)
walking down to the beach the tide is coming in fast unfortunately ,but i have found a good spot to shoot half way down the steep steps.

                                                    long exposure with the sun setting.

                                              These are my favourite images of the day

                        The end of a great holiday.  Goodbye Cornwall for now, will be back.

Holywell Bay sunset july 2014

A quick trip down to Holywell for the sunset tonight
its not far from caravan so worth a look, but don't think its looking like a decent sunset tonight.

 I am in one of the caves looking out towards Gull Rock , Jan and the "Terrible Twosome" are on the beach.

                             They look tired already  haha   been a long day for them i guess :)

 
                                                                        Jan in the cave :D

 

                   Walking down to the sea now , the dogs have scared off the birds   Ooops

Defiantly not going to get much colour tonight , its clouding over a bit with a few crepuscular rays coming through now :)

                                        Nice Mollster pic  , light is rather nice now

                                       at last a bit of colour , a long exposure image .

                                     and that is it :(     never mind cant always get a good one !

Amazing Trevaunce Cove 19th july 2014

Today we are heading to Trevaunce cove , the web sites say the beach is dog friendly so off we go , arriving in the small car park and pay for a couple of hours. 

Walking down to the beach , the tide appears to be quite high so will probably have to wait for it to go out a bit.

On the slipway down to the beach a sign says "No Dogs off lead"   wtf!     we have driven all the way here and cannot go on the beach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    
We have now walked around the left side of the bay  , lovely views down the coast and there appears to be a small bay just around the rocks so we will try to get around there .

                                  Love all the flowers planted along the path edge :)

Having driven around down very narrow lanes, up and down steep hills and past a couple of disused mines we have parked up above a shingle beach , the "Terrible Twosome" go straight down and get soaked  haha.

           Time to get the tripod set up and take a few long exposures while the tide starts to recede.

                                                                   40 seconds exposure

                                                             11 seconds exposure.

                                       Some of the old mine workings with chimneys

       I have climbed up around the headland to the right and found this view!!!!!!!!!   Amazing

                                      a long exposure  , the canoes have blurred  lol

                                                             a phone panorama shot

                                                                    loving this view..

                                                  off to Perranporth for the evening now
