Lossiemouth Blush


ian cameron

On a blustery windswept June evening I was busy exploring the west beach at Lossiemouth overlooked by the Cove Sea Lighthouse. The sun had disappeared into a band of low cloud bringing a premature end to the promised sunset I was hoping for. I busied myself with the intricate markings created by draining water around a single mossy stump belonging to some ancient groyne long sinced buried in the sand when the sun made a surprise and welcome re-appearance staining the sky crimson and igniting the wet sand. NEW!! Photographic Holidays at TRANSIENT LIGHT.

It seems the starting point for a trip to the beauty. Your presentation, very poetic is simply the prelude of an excellent image. Congratulations. Best Whises. Vicente.

Striking composition with the central rock acting like a pivot around which the radial lines in the sand are arranged perfectly. The sun at the end of the stretch of distant water also adds to the already strong composition.

Superb composition! The patterns in the sand revolving against the "centrepost", the reflection of the sun on the rhs as well as the scattered rocks leading to the sand all contribute to a striking and superb image.

I think this one's a beauty, no doubt about it. I really like the radiating "spokes" emanating from the foreground "hub". If this were mine I think I would consider removing the small tower in the distant left horizon. However...as I study this more, perhaps that would be a mistake. Ian, you are triangulating on the setting sun, the the foreground hub, and the distant tower. It is kind of a cool composition this way. I tend to babble at this time in the morning so you will have to allow for that.

 

Very good photograph. Regards.

The quasi-central position of the stump bothered me a little when I first saw this on NPN. It seems that it balances with the sun better on further viewing. Or maybe it becomes irrelevant when such beauty is everywhere.
