Knives Out

Three large trianglulated slate cliffs in South Devon UK are a

monumental feature of this dramatic beach. I was simply stunned when

I found this place five years ago, before I owned a camera.

 

With the right tides causing waves to push up the beach you get the

meaning of 'big, bigger and biggest'. The slate is so smooth it

reflects the light in winter months magnificently and as the sun

moves around to the shortest day they light up more and more.

 

The foreground rocks were once sharp too, but waves have ground them

down to smooth streaks and lines, some seeming to contain quartz and

other minerals I know nothing about. This particular feature is

present on a few beaches in this area, but none seem to harbour the

knife like geometry that brings me back here again and again.

 

EOS 5D, 17-40f4L, ND0.9, two exposures one for foreground and one for

the sky blended in CS2.

Just perfect, David.

Excellent image. It must be an awesome feeling to be there and see it in person. Although you have captured it so well, I do feel like I am there.

Excellent.

Gorgeous landscape!

In posto veramente straordinario! Immagine fantastica!

 

7/7!

 

I'm sure I speak for many others when saying I look forward to seeing more of your work. Welcome to photo.net

Great job!! Heavenly... 7/7 Great techniques!!!

David...great job of capturing this one, your skills are amazing, the milky water to the exposure of the whole thing is just great!! I think sky is a bit oversaturated, I don't know about that blue but I think the sun and other parts are just very impressively captured!! 7/7

This is the best one I found from recently uploads. I like your techique and admire your CS skill to fix two exposure images into one. I believe this is the best way to have a best exposure image rather than using filter or black card (Like I did). 7/7

What an amazing picture. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work, you're already in my favourites, Brilliant!

I first saw this over on NPN, a truly incredible work.

Simplemente Fantastica!! luz, encuadre, color y un lugar de fantasia, Felicidades. Saludos cordiales

Excellent !!

Beautiful capture,David. The light color, and composition are superb. -Regards Anthony

Awsome Picture skills you have here!!!!

 

Beautiful shot, nice composition. Excellent exposure technique. Very well done!

Doesn't get much better than this David. All the elements are placed perfectly, the tonal balance looks spot-on and the light dancing on the rocks in the foreground is captivating. I'll also admit that I googled your name, found your naturescapes.net portfolio and wasn't disappointed. Definitely something to aspire to ;)

UTTERLY AMAZING DAVID!!!

Love the photo. Here's a crop and contrast suggestion. I think the crop better emphasizes the strengths of the photo.

Enhorabuena por tu imagen. el ambiente que has captado es sobervio.La imagen de David como sugerencia es superior.Al obtener tanto detalle de las rocas del fondo el paisaje cobra mucha mas fuerza.Otra cosa que me fascina de tu imagen es el sol asomando tenuemente entre las nubes, creando un reflejo cristalino en las aguas que dan un gran dramatismo a la imagen.Un saludo

wow absolutely stunning. Fabulous angle, the leading lines lead you into the photo. Great colours and pop too.! 7

Great light with an excelllent composition!
