Images of the South West
The waterfall at Sandymouth in North Cornwall

Waterfall, Sandymouth

As I have commented on previous images a visit to Sandymouth, just north of Bude, never disappoints. It is my favourite local spot and I always find something to shoot when I come here whatever the conditions. Good sunset light is the best though as it really brings up the colours in the Culm sandstones.

I’ve always had it in mind to do a long exposure at sunset of the waterfall but usually there are too many people around. Amazingly, given that it is the school half term week, there was not a soul in sight. Even in the worst weather there is usually a dog walker or two to be seen.

This is a pretty ‘low volume’ shot, I have seen it with far more water, when it jets out further horizontally. I’ll get that shot too one day.

This was taken with the B+W ND3 10 stop filter, which worked a treat. I’ve always loved how fluorescent the algae is on the rocks here.
