I was keen to create a collection of long exposure images to ‘capture’ the flowing water of the incoming tide during our recent trip to Wester Ross on the west coast of Scotland.

Fortunately on the days I chose to take these there was a fairly good sky with plenty of detail and a little colour. This has made a perfect backdrop to the long exposure water images and also added a little reflected colour to the water in some of the images.

I love these long exposures! I’ve been experimenting with it myself. It takes a lot of patients, but when you get it right the results are spectacular!
