"Evening Spectacle"

Portencross, North Ayrshire, Scotland. My third attempt to capture

this part of west-coast and those beautiful old red sandstones. These

rocks are red Permo-triassic sandstones about 200 Million years

old !!!. With my first attempt I was a bit unlucky. Weather forecast

wasnt bad at all. On my way to this place I could see a beautiful

Sun, but eventually when I arrived to the place some thick clouds

came out of nowhere and the magical light disappeared completely. My

second time was even worst. The rain was so heavy I couldnt even get

out of my car, not mentioning taking any photo in that conditions.

The third attempt was finally succesfull. There was, however some

short rain but eventually the sky cleared out completely. The wind

was enormous and I had some serious problems to set-up my tripod and

camera really steady. Light was amazing and with the combination of

the natural colours of those rocks it created an amazing atmosphere.

Please see the larger version.

Beautiful shot! Excellent composition and exposure, Nice job! Best regards, Chris

Hello Piotr. You went to significant effort, to capture these rocks and seascape, and it is well composed, and a beautiful scene.

I thought the rocks were a bit flat, with that sunset hitting them, and applied a small amount of negative Gamma, and a touch of Saturation, much like what a polarizing filter would render. Hope you don't mind.

It's purely a subjective thing, as it is a great, well balanced shot.

 

Beautiful image, smooth out texture from rocks to sea to smooth sky creates a very 'journey' mood! Great lighting also. Congrats!

I really like that kind of pictures. It is strongly peacefull and it is appreciated. Ga묬e
