Waterville Beach and Blue Hour

























































The South Kerry Camera Club went to Waterville tonight. A calm evening, a slight haze over the sea and a bit fog on the hills. Ideal conditions for all kind of different photos. Left from us were two surfer in the water and while I was standing near the sea an otter passed by, making a noise like a bird. Waterville is hosting a Comidy Film Festival in August because of Charlie Chaplin, who used to spend his holidays here.
The camera was on the tripod, shutterspeed over one minute, I´ve used a ND8 filter for some shots. The blue hour photos were only slightly darkened in Lightroom, no colour change.

Blue of the Night is a wonderful radio show on Lyric fm, starting at 10pm every night until 1 in the morning.   http://www.rte.ie/lyricfm/blue/
