Green Cobbled Gold


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Green Cobbled Gold
Green Cobbled Gold
Eilean Donan Castle, Loch Duich, Scotland.

It was pretty obvious for once that their was likely to be a decent sunset over the castle and I opted for a slightly alternative viewpoint with side lighting painting its flanks. The light duly turned to burnished gold and after some consideration I decided to use some green algae covered flagstones I had spotted on an old slipway. I needed to exploit every ounce of depth of field I could muster but the results are very pleasing.

Pentax 67II, 55-100 zoom, 0.45ND hard grad to jetty edge staggered with 0.3ND hard grad to water horizon to maintain a sky water differential of 1.5 stops (maintains excellent balance of exposure) and a total of 2.5 stops on the sky. f/32 at 6 seconds, Velvia.
