The very end of Mosteiros peninsula. A view to the Eastern cliffs of Sete Cidades mountain, Portugal.
A story behind: The entire route along the Western coast of the São Miguel island is considered a visual treat for the eye, but my personal preference is the northwestern-most point around the small village of Mosteiros. This is where I concentrate the majority of my photography and walks. Recently I felt a little bored with the Mosteiros beach so I looked for the new spot for shooting photos.
That night the landscape was playing the big show and the only person standing at the audience was me. The sky was covered with quickly moving dark clouds with some light patches from the dying sun. The massive cliffs of the Eastern side of the Sete Cidades volcano were bravely standing against the Middle Atlantic waves. And in the foreground lava-formed stones and small waterfalls with amazing parallel wave lines emerging only on the long shutter images.
Technique: Rapidly changing water and weather conditions with suddenly appearing/disappearing big bright water areas in the foreground were really a big challenge to set up a right white balance. Tripod, cable remote and 3-stop reversed ND Grad filter.
Location: Outside the village of Mosteiros, Portugal.
Gear: Nikon D700, Nikkor 16-35 mm AF-S ED. Tripod. RAW to Tiff.
Aperture: f/10
Shutter speed: 2 sec
Exposure bias: 0 EV
Focal Length: 16 mm
ISO: 200
