[3] Louis used an ND filter to
smooth the choppy seas.

[2] The contrasting gradient of pink and
blue help further a feeling of isolation.

I only live a 10-minute drive


away, so it was easy to get to,


but I ended up waiting a year


for the weather to be right


Louis’s Top Tips



  • Find a local spot you like enough
    to revisit again and again.

  • When there’s fog or lightning, be
    prepared to set out there immediately.
    You’re almost guaranteed to come
    home with a decent photograph.

  • Once you’ve got the shot, experiment.
    Try using an ND filter to smooth the
    water, clean up the image and bring
    more attention to the focal point.
