Saltwick sunset

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted July 25, 2011192 views5 comments

Another from my late June evening at Saltwick Bay on the Yorkshire Coast - this was when the sky was at its fieriest - I actually prefer the colours from just before sunset but this was certainly dramatic and great fun to witness. I had to rush the composition a bit to get the best position on the colour in sky and water.
All comments very welcome as always.

A very well balanced man and nature seascape Lizzie. It does not seem rushed at all. Beautiful sunset.

Spectacular color and light Lizzy! I love to wait on the coast at sunset on Cape Breton and mid coast Maine to experience color and light like this. Beautiful work!

Looks like you work very well under pressure! Comp looks fine, and even presents other attractive options for various crops, including one of those long, narrow panoramas filled 100% with dramatic colors.

Thanks very much for the comments everyone.
Wayne - I like to think I'm able to react to things quickly because, as much as careful planning and waiting for 'that moment' are important, being able to 'grab' what may suddenly appear before you is equally important imo. But you are right - there are infinite possibilities there in terms of composition and I suspect some super more intimate images to be made. I need to get back there - though I think I need a pretty low tide to see these fun rock formations again. As for the long panorama - that one could be rather nice too so thanks for that idea!

Hi Lizzie, The colors in this are really nice. I think you did quite well coming up with a comp that works well too. I especially like the reflected color in the water. Very pretty sunset!
