Evening, Trevignon beach

It had rain all the day. On the evening, we went to the coast and I

took my camera. The sun had been hiden since the morning and I

thought there would be not enough light to make good photos. Yet I

took even though about fifteen photos of the waves crashing on the

rocks, hoping a few would be interesting (there is no one

interesting). And I finished my film, and I had no other film with

me. And I saw on the horizon a large sunny spell which expanded

quickly and moved near above the coast. Having a premonition of a

magnificent light which would not take long to illuminate the

seascape and knowing I would not bear toi see that without be able to

take a photo (I had no more film have I said), I hurry up my wife and

children to go. But before, I ask my wife to lend me her camera and

took a photo of the overcast sky above the coast. Hardly had we

started up, that I saw the fantastic vision of the coast suddenly

illuminated by the low angled sun with the dark clouds above it. All

the evening and the night I mulled over to have waste my last film

and have not be abble to take only one photo of this fantastic

seascape.

 

The day after, at the same time, we went back at the same place. The

weather was not sunny but there was not the same sky. I waited til

half and height pm and the sun suddenly passed under the clouds and

illuminated the coast like the eve. I took several photos. The clouds

were not so dark nor so dense but I thought I could arrange that with

PhotoShop. Here is the result. I am not sure it is so good that if I

had took the real photo the day before, but what do you think of it ?

Wow that's a stunning shot. Great piece.

Henri, a beautiful scene. Well portrayed. Also a nce story about your not having enough film. A wonderful about the town of Is and the princess. Thank you so much for your kind comments and sharing.

Good composition Henri and I like the detail in your story Thanks.

Regards

Beautiful seascape. I like the little houses at the horizon. When I see pictures like that, I imagine them featuring in a some sort of travel guide, geographical or cultural publication. Therefore, although I like your story, I would expect a text related to the place itself intreresting to the general public rather than to the photographer's professional experience. Having said that, I understand that the public here are photographers intersting in the circumstances of the shot and the technicalities.

The light here is very good. You overcame the difficulties and made a beautiful image full of atmosphere.

Thank you for your comments.

 

Manolis, about the place I can just say that it is a nice place, not too invaded by tourists, with nice beaches, nice seascapes, etc., all you need to spend pleasant hollydays.

 

I would also like to add something, that is I am a bit disappointed by the ratings and the number of comments received by this photo. Perhaps it is not so good that I imagined. But when I compare it (and others of mines) with certain from other members wich get higher ratings or numerous comments and that I find not very good, there is something I can't understand. But... too bad...

I like the lightening here Henri. Well done!

Superb seascape, great lighting (good idea the PS).

The seascape is very good, agree with Carsten, good work. as a suggestion I think the distance can't be so bright with this sky, I imagine some darker parts here, and maybe in the foreground as well.

Perhaps are you right, Hans, but as I have said above, this is a stitching of two photos taken with one day between the one and the other, and I have basing myself for doing it on the real view I had the day before when the sun suddenly lighted up all the coast. Then, I can assure you, the distance was as bright as here. At this time (about nine P.M.), the sun was very low on the horizon.
