Shooting several subtle sunset scene scenarios
« on: October 07, 2024, 09:58:43 am »

Well you've got to admit, it's different from the old "The 6th Sheik's, sixth sheep's sick", type of tongue twister ..?

Anyhoo, for some reason over the past few months, I seem to have been fortunate enough, to randomly stumble across several rather subtle sunset scenes. Now it is a very rare thing, to see both the words 'Subtle' and 'Sunset' used in the same sentence these days. But here it is and there they are..!

One shot in Scotland at my local go to beach and the other three from over in Ireland. Where we have just been for a several week photographic tour around the entire country - "going back to ma roots" as it were, because that's where my grandfather came from - you know as in the surname I am stuck with of "Hickey"? Which apparently meant healer in Ireland and which was really quite revered back in the day? But that Americans now find very amusing, as they use it to mean a teenage "love bite" or something. So every time we go over to the States and we sign in to a Motel and they ask for my surname? As soon as I say "Hickey", they start to giggle.... Ho hum?

Anyway, hope you enjoy.  ;D

Very nice set (again). This mostly mineral world becomes magical with that light.
Well done and thanks for sharing your photos and also the stories.

Thanks all..  ;)

The fourth shot shown above, was the wrong image, as I actually meant to upload this one shown below.

Although it is from the same beach side location here on Skye, so I must be getting confused in my old age - or is that even more confused? Who knows ;D

Obviously, I had more of these types of shots on my thumb drive than I realised.  :o

I love the first three and the replacement fourth! The original fourth was not terrible but the light just wasn't there.

It makes me think about how a sunset or sunrise can be too good. In the sense of stealing the show from an interesting landscape. Then the photo may be seen as a sunset photo rather than a landscape photo. These are nice landscape photos with a pleasing sunset and light. :)

I agree.

In fact I was surprised when I logged back on here and saw how I had uploaded the wrong image  ::)

The joys of old age eh?

Ah I get it  ;D

Yes those rocky islands do look spooky don't they.
