Description
There is a moment, standing at the edge of an Atlantic headland before sunrise, when the sea is doing something extraordinary — and a normal photograph simply cannot hold it.
This complete field guide teaches you everything you need to capture that moment: from understanding ND filters and calculating exposures, to reading tides and light along the Atlantic coast. Written from over 40 years of coastal photography experience in Brittany and the Isle of Skye.
What’s Inside

Who This Guide Is For
Whether you’ve just bought your first ND filter or you’ve been shooting coastal landscapes for years, this guide gives you a clear, field-tested system — not just theory. Every technique inside has been shot, tested, and refined on the granite shelves of Finistère and the sea stacks of Skye.
