The Key


davidclapp

This is Hartland Quay on the North Devon Coast. More geographic faults and compressed rocks, this is an amazing landscape that quite simply leans on its' side. Literally all the rock formations are a 45 degrees one way or another making this rather difficult to traverse.

This shot was taken half an hour after sunset when the colours were at their peak.

EOS 5D, 17-40 f4L @ 24mm f16 for 4secs / 0.5secs ISO 100, a blend of two exposures.

Yes James, its a personal favourite of mine too. Such an unusual combination of ebony and magenta with smooth textures and the weird little stone. I was an extremely demanding shoot, lots of super low angles. In fact I must go back now you have brought it back to my minds eye again...

The most important in a composition is the subject, one of the things that make of this shot a very great photo is the Subject, the stone on the fg at right, the rest is a very good composition and a great Technique very well executed. But the subject allways keep the power in a scene. The problem in lots of good Landscape photos well composed using lots of basic composition elements, Like mouvement, dimension, tone, scale. lines or dot even if all is well placed in the frame is that if you havn?t a subject your landscape can be lifeless and boring, there is lot of people with good compositional Skills But Interesting subject are very dificult to find, and i?m sure that a good subject like your Stone, make the diference between a good photo or a very good photo.

I think that this is a world class piece of landscape photography. I really do.

Just brilliant. It reminds me of the fabulous work of Peter Dombrovskis, the late Australian photographer.

Also, Fernando's comments above about the rock in the bottom right are spot on.

 

One of the finest landscapes I've seen in a long time.

Well done.

 

A true 7/7.

 

Regards,
