The Last Glow...
« on: May 27, 2015, 03:56:08 pm »

It was one of those weekend, terrible light and lots of missed opportunities.  Then just as I was about to give up after watching the promised sunset failed to appear, a last glow broke through for a few minutes.

Still not sure about the image, but it seems to grow on me - but maybe that is because I am bias!

North Wales (UK) coast.   2 images blended (one for the break on the horizon), Pentax 645Z with 28-45mm at 28mm. 13 seconds at f/16, ISO 100

I might square this off, but I definitely love the overall mood and feel.

As it is it is perfectly fine. Not the contrasty saturated look that is usually seen on here but still very nice.

Thanks All

@maddogmurph - I did look at squaring it off, but I missed the cloud structure at the top, so went back to the native ratio

@stamper - I do try and avoid too much contrast and saturation (don't always manage it), but I try.  So I assume the "not the contrasty saturated look that is usually seen on here" as a positive comment  ;D

Nice shot, Phil! I would also miss the cloud if you square it off. I really like it as it is. The color is just nice for me! :)

Correct. It was a compliment.
