Photographing in Bad Light - Long Exposure Photography at Pyramid Rock, Phillip Island

I've been known to say "there's no such thing as bad light just a lack of imagination" but some days you get out to a great location and the light is just blah!

In this video, I try to demonstrate a solution using long exposures and composing to accentuate shapes in a vertical or portrait format while shooting the classic scene of Pyramid Rock at Phillip Island in Victoria, Australia.

I hope you enjoy.
