Hello Kath,
Excellent colours and very good depth in the picture beacuse of the rocks strewn out all along the beach. The hillside looks dangerous. This is not a place where I would like to get caught by high tide.

Hello Kath
Gorgeous lighting on the rocks which are showing strong yellows and a very subtle sky to compliment. The massive cliff draws nicely into the image with excellent still water in the FG. Looks a bit like the West Coast around NZ.

Hi Kath,
It's interesting to compare the two shots on different directions. Both really good looking. On this the sunlit stones catch the most attention.
Brighness difference beween reflections on water and the sky tell tales of strongish PP. Or did the polarizer have so different effect on those elements?

Hello Kath, excellent shot with great golden light on the rocks at front and beautiful atmosphere. Great depth too. I thought it would be also nice in black and white, so I gave it a try on a ws. Hope you like it and you don't mind.
Best regards,

Kath,
Great shot with excellent lighting and color! Your composition is fine with the rocks in the foreground providing nice points of interest. The photo is sharp with great DOF. The hillside provides a nice diagonal through the shot creating a sense of direction.

Hello Kath,

Le ciel assombri pour l'occasion donne un bon contraste avec le sol presque lumineux. J'aime bien cette falaise qui est très impressionnante car elle semble surplomber la plage.
Bien vu !

Hi Kath,
Indeed, a beautiful warm light on the cliffs - something
I still have to learn how to do it properly (provided
I get up early enough and move my lazy a__e to catch that
early morning sun illuminating cliffs in my neighbourhood).
Did you have to have your wellies on?

Hi Kath,
a good positioning for this shot and i like the fact that its not accessable at all times. You can see the different types of rock by the way the land as eroded and the random rocks in the foreground gives the shot the colour and brightness it needs.
great work.
tfs

Hi, Kath. The setting sun gives a very nice hue to the rocks in the foreground. The cliff slopes down in a diagonal line into the picture pointing to the sea and the horizon. Very good light for a nice evening atmosphere.
Have a nice day,

It is amazing to see how the atmosphere can change by looking just in another direction. This picture feels less lonely than the former upload, but with the same good quality.

Hello Kath:

A beautiful composition where the colors stand out as a highlight, especially the terracotta of the rocks, which contrasts well with the environment.

The depth of field, and the sea calm, makes it a very attractive landscape and thoughtful.

Hi Kath,
Wonderful warm late day light lays a pleasing golden glow on the rocks and distant cliffs.
The colors are very clear with sharp details along the beach and cliffs.
The pastel sky really works well with the warm colors on the beach.

Hi Kath, the light is indeed beautiful and it was a good idea to turn around an let the warm ligh work its magic on the craggy rocks of the bay. It has an almost minimalistic beauty and I like it a lot. Well done.

Hi Kath,
Sometimes just looking to another side can give you very rewarding results. The shipwreck and Black Nab are much more obvious choices to photograph, but you already had good shots of them, so you did well turning your head to the other side. The rocks shining, the tide pools reflecting the sky, the scarp on the BG... All make a beautiful image.
Regards, José.

Hola Kath.
Wonderful shot with a great view of the beautiful seascape, the last sunrays of the evening gave you a nice lighted rocks and high cliff during the low tide, colors are very good, also great sharpness and frame. Wonderful composition.
Best wishes.

Hi Kath,
Perhaps you didn't catch what you wanted but you sure catched excellent light conditions on this one. The rest of course is a matter of framing, and you did get that one right! So, you ended up with a frame that a lot of others didn't get, and that shows the the true photographer.
My sinecerest congratulations.

Hello Kath,
here another one of your good compositions in which you show us the landscape of this coast.
I love how the low angle light has bought out the texture of the sand and added its own warmth to the scene.
The asymmetric balance gives to much dynamism and much elegance to the image, that has an excellent chromatic level and a great light.
Nice work.
Best wishes,
Josep

Hello Kath,

I like this composition very simple but very well balanced and very beautiful.Hot colors especially the yellow of the stones in the FG. Good choice of POV which shows well the height of the cliff.

May be it would have been fun to show a picture with all the tripods in WS... ;-) Good work with the stones in FG that shinne beautiful in golden tones. Excellent diagonal that is completed when connected with the stone at further left. Without that stone this would be more like a < than a diagonal and I prefer the latter. Still, I would like to see the some free space below. I find the b&w interesting in the sky and cliff, but I would never give up on the golden tones.
Have a fun trip to the USA, Kath.

Hi Kath,

One more comment and you'll get this much deserved 100 points for this gorgeous shot.

Sun along can work magic between these short moments where the light is hot, dramatic and very flattering for landscapes. Everything fits tightly inside the composition and the foreground rocks have been included to determine the final frame.

Nice peaceful moment.

Cheers!

don't despair too much, Kath! This is still an excellent photograph with the late sun illuminating the rocks and the cliffs.
A line of sand seems to have made a natural leading line towards the bottom of the cliffs which has the appearance of a zebra's head stretching towards the ground. Can you see it?

As always, sharp details and fine composition.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

• batalay (16609)
• [2008-09-03 13:48]

Hello Kath,

The cliffs indeed are beautifully illuminated by the low sun, and the rocks stand like sentries in the low tide. It is a picture of solitude and peace. I see that you are shooting at the relatively slow ISO of 100, but holding the shutter speed to 1/4 second. It appears to be a successful combination, allowing you to shoot with an aperture of f/16, and producing excellent depth of field.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Bonjour Kath,
elle sont magnifiques ces côtes anglaises, elles ont le pendant en France avec sans doute autant de beauté mais peut-être un peu plus de tourisme.
Ici calme et solitude.
Magnifiques couleurs et lumières.

It's the light which makes this scene. Like how the low light falls on the boulders & partly on the cliffs. This photo shows how crucial a role, light plays in landscape photography. Well done!
