Here is your Skywatch image.
It's being a week since my last post. I can't believe that week has flown by. I was away in Turin last weekend shooting a Marathon. I'm also putting the finishing touches to two adult education night course on "The Art of Photography" and "Digital Photography for Beginners". After buying a 500mm lens it's still in the box and have not got the chance to use it yet.
Enough of that, the above image was taken from my last family holiday in Bundoran this year. The great thing about this location is that the hotel we were staying in was just to the right of the cliffs in the shot. So a simple was out the car park and bingo here you are. But the down side as I was saying in the last post it's too close to the hotel and you will get a fair amount of people out walking on the beach. ( Oh if I had a shotgun !!!!! ).
Again with shooting into the setting sun, the exposure can be very hard to get right so that the highlights are not blown out too much. In this image I was able to control them just right with the help of my ND Grad filters. The tide was also right so that the foreground rock helped the composition.
Have a good weekend and see you next week with a couple of more post I promise.
I look forward to your monochrome skies each week and am never ever disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI love the movement of the water between the rocks and shore in your photo. Very nicely done in black and white.
ReplyDeleteNot often I can say I like a photo that is full of anger! This has so much movement and emotion. The sky and the sea combine to produce such a marvellous effect. Add to that the angle of the point which seems to be slice them int two.
ReplyDeleteBravo!
Very dramatic and the one below it too, thanks for sharing Neil:)

I think you are better than Ansel Adams, a famous black and white photographer in the States.
