The Last of Winterby ~PastyGuy

DescriptionDetailsShare
Image

This is a location that I have been meaning to visit ever since I began photography and one that has been visited by so many photographers over the years. I didn't go here to top some of those shots I have seen before those images have been made by the weather and lighting conditions only seen by being in the right place at the right time.

I waited a good half hour after sunset in a chilling wind for the light to be subdued enough and to capture the rocks with a long exposure. I used a 2-stop grad for this image as I tend not to blend long exposed images as they can appear unnatural

Location

Lands End, Cornwall, UK

I haven't been to lands end either. I've been around a few other parts of that area though and I agree, it's all good shooting ground. I do like this shot but the rocks in the foreground feel a bit tight and dominating for me. Everything else is perfect though.

Where in Europe are you going to on your job?

Very nice, Guy! Am I right in guessing you used HDR to get the detail just right throughout the picture? I think I've spotted HDR on a lot of your pictures in the gallery... If you have the time would you be able to explain how to get great results from HDR, you seem to have the technique down to a tee! Possibly make a tutorial? =]

As always, love it.

None of my images are processed using HDR. When I shoot the images I use a similar technique of taking a number of photos at different exposures and blend them together in photoshop.

Ah I see, so a sort of manual HDR =P... Have you not considered or tried some HDR software? What you're doing clearly works for you though so I guess it's unnecessary :P

Well, this is a stunning shot, I love your work and have shown it to many people!

I feel HDR can produce poor results and look unatural were I am trying to capture exactly what I saw. Thanks again

recognise that place. i like it - i think, though, that the comp would have been better balanced if the FG rocks had been on the left. not sure if it was possible?

If I had done that I would have been in the waves crashing on the rocks but I would have preferred it for sure.
