Duncansby Gloaming
Uploaded: July 03, 2011
Duncansby Stacks, Caithness, Scotland
At 3.45am on a mid summers morning there isn't a sole around except of course the group of photographers joining me on a Caithness and Sutherland masterclass. It is difficult to convince folk I'm not a bread roll short of a picnic at times but fortunately this was one twilight venture that paid off handsomely. Pre-dawn the sky turned a sumptuous plum colour which combined beautifully with a delicate sea mist and the cool clamminess of twilight to create that eerie glow of the gloaming. The changing colours were spectacular right through to sunrise.
NEW!! Photographic workshops and masterclasses and fine art cards are now available at TRANSIENT LIGHT.
Pentax 67 II ,90-180 zoom,Fujichrome Velvia. Polariser, backed off 25%, 0.3ND hard grad and a 0.6ND soft grad to reverse the darkening at the base of the image due to the harsher effective polarisation. f/22 at 12 seconds.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
