Chasing landscapes after sunset

It's been a while since I've been out to refresh my creativity with a good dose of landscape photography.

It was a super random day off.  I decided with Lucian to head out at around sunset for some landscapes and long exposure photo practice.  After driving around Jersey for about an hour, we just missed sunset but the after-light was still beautiful so we decided to set up our gear.

Stunning setting

While my super long exposure photos were "brewing" (30 seconds each shot) I did a bit of portraiture of my landscape buddy which turned out super cool.

Hero shot

Even though it was already quite dark I decided to put on a 10 stop ND filter just to get some beautiful car light trails in the foreground of the shot.

I am super chuffed with that decision as it made the shot 10 times more interesting and pleasing to look at.
