From my recent trip to Oregon's South Coast. Rock striations in the

weather beaten headlands overlooking the endless rugged shoreline at

twilight. I spent literally two full days hiking up and down the

coast looking for a spot like this and was finally rewarded with my

favorite image in quite a while. Exposure was 3 minutes at F16. ISO

100. Minimal PS work. Thanks for your comments.

i love the sharp, defined, detailed clarity of the cliffs against the soft rushing smoothness of the sky and water. gorgeous feeling to this one. beautiful colors, just so vivid and alive. love the lighting here. amazing composition too. and the angle at which you took this is perfect. so peaceful. i long to see it in real life now.

Marc, your whole portfolio is a 7/7 and this photo is no exception. What I love most about this shot is the long exposure to create such movement in the sky. How long after sunset is this shot? I would love to go on a photography expedition with you but I just don't want to hike for 2 days!

Hiking (scouting) is definitely an integral and necessary part of what I do. I enjoy every minute of it though, even when not gazing upon scenes such as this. It was captured about 40 minutes after sunset.

Mark,

This is another awesome shot. The sky effect is pretty cool with a 3 min. exposure. I'm wondering what it would be like with a little more natural looking sky. Not that this doesn't work, just a thought.

You've done a great job capturing this dramatic landscape. The lighting, water, the clouds and the long exposure work exceptionally well. The one nit pick that I have is the lighting on the cliffs drops off into the shadows quite rapidly. I can only guess that since this is around the level of the horizon that this is where the neutral density graduated filter transitioned. I would recommend masking the area and dodging the top edge of the cliffs to match (as best as possible) the lighting found on the rest of the cliff. You'll have to let me know if this is less so the case on a larger version and perhaps a little exaggerated with the smaller file displayed here.

Thanks Jim. I took several others with much more detail in the trees but favor this one. The darkness leaves the emphisis directly on the cliffs and really makes it for me. I appreciate your opinion though.

Cool shots from the big wave comp, by the way! Those guys are nuts.

This image has everything in its place...

I like the darken trees in the top to give more emphasis to the beutiful rock formation.

 

SIMPLY AMAZING CAPTURE!

EXCELLENT

i must admit i normally find grad filtered coastal shots a bit of a tired cliche but this one is just stunning and shows that it can be worthwhile. i love the textures and light on the foreground rock and the colours of the sea, as well as the cloud textures. beautiful work!

Time & effort well rewarded. I think this is an outstanding image, and that's not a word I use very often. I can understand why you are pleased with it.

 

Cheers, Ian.

Both. The rocks, naturally appeared to pick up more light than would be observed naturally during the long exposure from the brightness on the horizon. I also selectively did some minor dodging in some areas for better tonal balance and fine tuning of contrasts.

Your exposure and use of filter is once again perfect. The sky has some unusual looking tones. Is this what it looked like or the result of the ND/reprocity failure?
