Title: Sunset at Playa de Portizuelo, Asturias
Post by: Vieri Bottazzini on May 27, 2019, 05:02:28 pm

Sunset at Playa de Portizuelo, in Asturias. To get that close to the arch with the right amount of water, you need to wade a bit in the ocean timing your visit when the tide is just about right around sunset :) Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 30mm, and my beloved Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters.

Thank you for viewing, best regards

Beautifully captured seaside scene with incredible rock formations. The birds add the special icing.

I like the intense glow behind the arches. The birds give a good idea of the scale and also add some life to this mineral world.
One nit, I see some haloes on the ridgeline (left side of the image) although it could be a jpeg compression issue…

Well done!

Thank you very much Les, glad you enjoyed it! :) And yes, it was a pretty patient seagull, it kept still for all our session there, and the four of us made a bit of noise too. He is probably used to pose!

I should try that! It will go nicely towards getting whatever next thing Hasselblad has in store for us... ;)

Thank you very much Francois, glad you enjoyed it! :) About the halo, it is the combination of the jpg compression on a high contrast area, it doesn't show on the full-sized photo :)
