Portknockie Bloom

Portknockie, Moray, Scotland. This is a true transient light moment. The sun had already risen and within seconds of doing so it had become too bright to get a photograph without significant flare. I noticed that fractionally above the horizion was a very thin skein of cloud and I waited for a minute or so for the sun to pass through it and then squeezed off one shot, flare spots were absent. The thrift were never-the-less sufficiently backlit to glow and the exposure was very pleasing. All in all it is probably my defining shot of this wondeful place. Pentax 67II, 55-100 zoom, 2.5 stop ND grad, f/22 at 6 seconds. Velvia

Ian, this photo feels like it needs a bit more black or contrast particularly on the central rock in the middleground.  I can see some black on the closest rocks and the lighting would feel more balanced with some of that elsewhere.  Maybe it's just my monitor though!  You have a fantastic portfolio that I always enjoy perusing.

Wonderfull like all your pictures. Since one year I have a look daily on your website. I like your pictures and I like Scotland.

And I'm enjoy to see pictures take with film. Since one year I use Pentax 67II and it's great..

For a difficult to handle sunrise, you did marvellously well. This image has an almost 3D like quality about it.

Thankyou everyone for your kind comments, I thought it was a pretty good image but at one stage its average mark for aesthetic and originality was 4.2 which placed it around the bottom 1% making it easily the worst shot that I had ever put up on Photo Net.  Its now around the middle of the heap.

Very beautiful, and I know what you talked about the light control, in our country, we always use the 'black board' to block the high-light to reach that goal,anyway,film user to take such a succesful photo in this condition is not easy,best regards.
