Pastel tones


Harris, day four
We spent late afternoon on day four on Scarista beach, a long crescent of pale sand in the shadow of Ceapabhal. The beach faces north and the sunset unfolded gradually in a series of pastel hues. I was busy again with my ND filter to smooth the water. The top photo is without it and the one below is using it to give a 1.5 sec exposure. Sometimes I prefer one and sometimes the other!

  2. The first photo appears to show more wave definition, a good capture of breaking surf. Beautiful photos

  5. I'd be tempted to add the foreground of the first shot to the background of the second - or is that cheating? I'm enjoying your Hebridean visit.

  7. I like the 15 second exposure one, did you use a tripod?
