The shadows which were the main objective weren't right, needs to be later in the year to get the angles right/
This was my main setup for the screes, but the wind was ferocious, as strong as I can remember. It swept down the valley and whipped up fans of spray from the waves it generated. There were some rainbows from the spray but hard to capture.
I had to tie the tripod down in the lee of the car, standing up was a challenge. One visitor got out of his car to see the spectacle and his hat and scarf are whisked from him in an instant, he finally caught up with them about 100 yards up the road in a ditch next to my car.
This is one of the gusts of wind which tore spray from the waves.

Another similar pic, showing the island rock battered by the waves and covered by the spray.
We stayed until about 8:30pm capturing the stars, I have been busy cleaning the aeroplane trails off the images. Will post them once I have processed them. We watched some climbers torchlight movements down from Scafell Pike in the dark. It will be interesting to see how the show up in the finished star trail image.
