alfbailey 3 Posted September 14, 2014 The high tide coincided with the sunset and the tiny church was surrounded by water just as I wanted it. The sea state was very calm so there was almost no need for a 30 exposure, but it did allow some cloud movement. Your thoughts and comments are always appreciated. Thank You. Link to comment

gag 0 Posted September 14, 2014 Nice Shot. Still getting to grips with my D800, however does the ISO go down to 50? All The Best Gary Link to comment
BelaMolnar 2 Posted September 14, 2014 Very nice scenery and a beautiful image. Excellent work, Alf. ( a 7 plus.)Cheers. Link to comment
JeffBryce 0 Posted September 14, 2014 I always wonder what was cropped away when I see something other than 3:2. The rocks on the far right shore appear sharp, but the rest doesn't. Maybe the cloud movement is playing tricks with my vision? Composition is nice as the shed is balanced with the other elements. Link to comment
Larry_G1664882113 15 Posted September 15, 2014 Alf, I really like the little church surrounded by water as it is. It is enhanced by being in the distance too. I like the long exposure - smooth water and motion in the clouds. The motion in the clouds compliments the soft water. Terrific light too. I am continuously amazed at the subjects you dig up in the UK, just wonderful. How do you find time to visit all of these places and also work? Larry Link to comment

alfbailey 3 Posted September 15, 2014 Many Thanks for your thoughts and kind words. It was a wonderful evening I spent with my students, they had a great time as did I and this was the last shot before leaving for home. Kind Regards Alf BILL The sun had disappeared below the horizon about 20 minutes before this shot was taken, and as is quite often the case the best colours start to appear.Sincere Thanks & Best Regards Alf MAURIZIO Thank you for your interest and very complimentary words!Best Regards Alf RICHARD It was a beautiful evening, not only was I fortunate that the high tide coincide with the sunset, but a near full moon was behind me helping to balance the light and show detail in the darker area's.Thank You so much! Best Regards Alf GARY Yes indeed the ISO will go down to 50. It reads as L 1.0 on your digital read out on the top right display, but reads as 50 when you display the exif information or when you right click the image and read the "properties" Many Thanks Alf BELA My Sincere Thanks! The subject matter is one of my favourites, but difficult to get the right conditions, high tide and sunset coinciding.Best Regards Alf JEFF Mostly sky was cropped to balance the image, but also a tiny bit of foreground that had some messy seaweed at bottom left. Maybe your vision is playing tricks with your vision lol although I didn't use any excessive sharpening. I don't think the Welsh parishioners of the ancient church of St Cwyfans would appreciate their historic building that has been in existence since before 1254 being referred to as a "shed" : - ) If you look at the far end of the roof, the housing for the bell is still there, though the bell itself has long since been presumably lost in storms and swallowed up by the encroaching sea. Cheers Jeff! Alf LARRY It's another little magical place and yes you are right, we are blessed with such wonderful subjects UK. I suppose it's partly a passion on my part fro being in these places at the magic hours and this is enabled by the relatively small scale of the UK. From my home to this place takes about 2 hours by car driving at a leisurely speed. You really should come and visit Larry I'll show you around : - ) Sincere Thanks & Best Regards Alf EMMANUEL "Lovely, peaceful image that brings a melody floating in ones head" < That was such a wonderful comment I felt compelled to repeat it.My Sincere Thanks! Alf TONY Many Thanks for your interest and positive feedback! Best Regards Alf PATSY Many Thanks for your thoughtful comments, much appreciated! Best Regards Alf MIKE Many Thanks for your kind words, it was in fact evening. But I do know what you mean, it was quite mesmerising and if I hadn't been showing my students the finer points of long exposures I might have missed it myself : - ) Cheers Mike! Alf JED It's a lovely spot and worth the journey when the conditions are right. Sincere Thanks Alf Link to comment

krpradu 125 Posted September 24, 2014 Splendid light and color caught here,long exposure did makes clouds to be seen a bit in motion and this creates a plus nice visual effect.Like it. Link to comment
panayotis_papadopoulos 0 Posted September 24, 2014 Looks quite calm and peaceful. The specific hour of the day is magical and your capture seems to benefit a lot from that, clouds are very nice, cheers! Link to comment
