That was what my vacation was all about: waiting for the weather to change (from pounding rain and storm to something surviveable), waiting for the sun (2 days out of 7), and eventually waiting for my long exposures. The good thing about the sea is that even if the weather is bad, a long exposure really can make a bland scene look interesting :) // Also using: Formatt Hitech 3 stop ND and 0.9 grad filter.

I had to wait for two and a half days before the storm and rain had passed and the sun finally came out. And there were the fall colors I had been waiting for, providing great contrast to the white chalk cliffs and patches of blue sky. // Also used: Formatt Hitech 2.5 ND and 0.9 Grad filters.

Yes, the weather was abysmal, but thanks to some ND filters and grads (and not slipping when climbing over those wet rocks), something beautiful came of it nonetheless. / Formatt Hitech 2.4 ND + 3 stop soft grad.

About an hour after sunrise, that stupid truck still hadn’t been moved ... (don’t ask how many photographers erupted in swearing when the guy pulled in a few minutes before sunrise). Decided to take the photo nonetheless since this was my last vacation day, and the water was calm enough for this peaceful picture. // Also used: Formatt Hitech ND, Grad, and polarizer.
