Cala Cap Roig

Gallery: LandscapePosted July 8, 2011289 views10 comments

I have a great love for this picture because of the story that has behind, corresponds to one of these days when you wake up 3 hours in advance to dawn, and just while leaving home you realize that all the sky is covered in dense cloud. 3 hours later, once in location, the sky opens just in the right place at the right moment

.

Shot with a 2 stops ND grad and a polarizer. One shot without ND was used to bring back some detail on the top rocks.

By the way, this is Cap Roig, in Costa Brava, Catalonia, Spain.

5DmkII + 17-40 + NDgrad + Polarizer.
f/18, 4s, ISO 200

Hi Gorka, I think you have done well with this image. I like the range of colors from the greens in the FG to the red & blues of the sky. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice image Gorka with amazing color variation. I too like the water texture (or lack thereof).

One of the things that makes this image stand out is the enormous depth that you have captured. It feels rich, realistic, and not overly processed. Very well done.

What really sets this one apart for me is the color. Just about every shade in the rainbow is present, and it really looks striking.

This is very well done. Varied textures and colors from foreground to background complement each other well for a balanced image.
