Storm on the Causeway Coast
When I was at home in Belfast over christmas, I wanted to get up to the Giant's Causeway for some sunrise photo opportunities. Sadly the weather was awful for most of the time.
On my final chance, I thought I'd risk it. It was freezing, but stayed reasonably dry. Until I actually started taking pictures.
The wind really picked up and the rain was hitting me from all directions. I had to rest a lot of my weight on the tripod to stop it getting blown over. The benefit was some great waves crashing over the famous hexagonal rocks of the causeway.
Technical info

This is actually about 6 photos in one. Although the waves were all in the space of about 20 seconds, they didn't quite all get captured in the one frame. I added them back in, plus a long exposure with my 10-stop neutral density filter for the rocks in the middle of the outcrop.
Finally I upped the contrast and made it monochrome for a more dramatic feel.
