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!
As the light faded the hills of Taransay across the Sound were tinted pink:
The clouds, lit by the setting sun, were a gentle fire of blues, greys, corals and pinks:
That first image has a really lovely dreamy quality to it.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo appears to show more wave definition, a good capture of breaking surf. Beautiful photos
ReplyDeleteI like the 1st one best too. You saw so much beauty on this trip, Jenny!
ReplyDeleteSuch great skies...and I also like seeing waves in detail in No.1.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteMagical is what comes to mind with these shots.
ReplyDeleteI like the 15 second exposure one, did you use a tripod?
ReplyDeleteYes.
