The wreck on the beach at Longniddry, Scotland[/caption]Seascapes
So, we were aimlessy driving along the southern coastline of the Firth of Forth, Scotland, looking for promising seascapes.
Alright, alright, don't twist my arm! We were specifically heading to Longniddry where we knew a wreck on the beach would be revealed if the tide was right. You can't fail with seascapes if you have a wreck to include in the shot.
We were lucky, the tide was going out and the ribs of the wreck were just beginning to show above the water, not long to wait.
The sky was nice and moody and the clouds were moving quite fast.
We don't know much about the wreck, to be honest, so if you have any information please drop us an email or leave a comment.
The Shot
The tripod was jammed well down in the sand to dampen vibrations from the water arounf the legs. A 10-stop filter was used to give a long exposure to make the most of the receding tide and the fast moving clouds.
We took two or three exposures just to make sure one of them had captured the water and the clouds sufficiently well.

Getting there ...
We took the A198 from the eastbound A1, then along the B1348 Links Road to a carpark signposted "Bents No.1", a sandy path lead down to the beach from there, once on the beach turn left and walk a couple of hundred yards along the beach and around 100 yards out. If the tide isn't that far out yet, you'll just have to wait :-)
