Re: Pembroke sunset

I am looking at this on the work's PC so forgive me if I'm talking tosh (nothing new there I hear you say )
The two f/g rocks appear a bit dark but I'm sure you'd be able to tease some more detail out of them.
The sloping horizon bothers me more though.
With a wee bit of work I'm sure you could make this nice shot better

That was the first thing I noticed. Sorry Treff.
I also think this is a good case for using a grad filter for a potentially good photo.

Re: Pembroke sunset

Thanks Samfisher. Always forget to straighten horizon. Not sure about the rocks or the overall toning. I tried a few variations but this warmer tone seemed to be best. It's very subjective I suppose. My better half does not like this picture but her friend loves it. Oh well.
Thanks for comments and looking. It's always good to get different opinions before putting pictures up for judging by those that are not so kind Ha ha and it is always good for my ego ha ha

Re: Pembroke sunset

I have now straightened it up, thanks Samfisher. I would also appreciate any comments on this pic. I find sunsets one of the most difficult things to get right so any comments would be most appreciated. All ways learning but unfortunately mostly forgetting.

can't see any picture.

Re: Pembroke sunset

I like it a lot.

As an alternative, a lower viewpoint might have given a stronger narrative and given the figure a little more prominence by placing her against the sky rather than a little lost against the sea and the background, but it's still a great image.

Re: Pembroke sunset

Looks like Llangrannog in Ceredigion.

Re: Pembroke sunset

What a great location, I like those hazy, cloudy sunsets, we had one here the other night.
I like that there is a person in it, gives a sense of scale to those foreground rocks.

I like the composition but might be tempted to crop a little from the LHS to remove the road and vehicles ?
Did you experiment with differents POVs, or did your missus decide she'd waited long enough for you to get this picture ? :-))))

Re: Pembroke sunset

Ems well spotted it is indeed Llangrannog in Ceredigion.
The management take no responsibility for opinions held by members of staff. Nor do they take any blame for some old fart with a camera who cannot remember wether he is on ass or elbow or which county nay country he is standing in when pointing said apparatus.
