Stormy Blue Hour

A four metre plus swell at high tide coincided with a fierce wind and a new moon to give fantastic stormy conditions at Porthleven, Cornwall, during the blue hour yesterday. This is a composite of several different shots of the breaking waves, all at about 1/10 to 1/2 second exposures, and a single shot of the town. The building looks like a church but is the Bickford-Smith Institute built in 1884 by William Bickford-Smith who was the MP for Truro and owner of a safety fuse making company of the same name.
