Between #2 and 3, I prefer this one. The little tree on top of the left hill made me grin. I'd mess with the light some (in the "enhance" menu) using the "light/shadow" tool.

Several years ago, I went on a shoot with Don Nelson, who worked for Pentax, and some newspaper guy from North Carolina. We had decided to meet in a little town in Tennessee near the NC border, to hike in and photograph Mouse Creek Falls. We arose early, way before dawn, grabbed up all our gear and drove to the trailhead. It was somewhere in the mid-teens, Fahrenheit-wise, and the trail was up a pretty steep angle. The falls were three miles into the woods. It was rocky and cold there in the NC mountains, but we made it all the way in, only to realize that the light was absolutely wrong; we should have waited until afternoon. We set up and shot anyway, -we'd come in, and bygawd we were gonna take pictures- but I've never really liked the results I got, even using a P67. Now, like everyone else here, I shoot quite a bit.

I start looking for a subject that fits the light, and the whole magic of photography thing strikes me anew. You have to be wary of becoming too dependent on golden light. When I mention "good" light, it may not be that perfect warmth of the early/late hour. What I mean is light that is interesting, whether it's dusky or rainy or foggy or something different entirely. It's one of those things that I know when I see it. There are subjects which will do justice to that particular quality of light, if only we can find them.

Re: PESO - Rugged Coast
For me, there is a quality to this light - some of the harshness emphasizes the feeling there. I have a bunch of shots the other direction that don't look harsh, but have a totally different kind of feel to them. There is also the learning factor - applying techniques and seeing how they affect the image, etc. Shooting backlit and dealing with flare is an example. Some very cool shots can be obtained, but the lighting is very tricky. I'll post one or two of the others up for all to see. They may be more acceptable to many. I needed to hear the reaction to this one as it helps me learn more. I really appreciate your comments and others as well. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, December 7, 2006, 8:19:33 AM, you wrote: KW> Mark Roberts was responsible for this appearing on my LCD - >> The criticism I have is something over which you had no control: The >> light is too harsh to make this work really well.

RE: PESO - Rugged Coast
It looks like a pretty spot but maybe just not the best time of day/angle of light. The top left where the sky is peaking through and what looks like a little flare, could be cropped out, IMO.Overall I find the composition pleasing.

Interesting question. If I were traveling, I'd probably have taken the picture anyway. Could still be useful for some purposes.

Re: PESO - Rugged Coast
You are =really= fortunate to be in striking distance of such locations! Since you are, I would visit it again. For me, the shot lacks a center of interest. If there were big crashing waves sending up spray, or if the texture of the rocks was more apparent (I like William Robb's suggestion of large format B&W), it would work better.

Re: PESO - Rugged Coast
Certainly like the idea of it. The foreground, however, appears a lot like simply rubble and is the predominant element. That square/cube shaped rock in the background is peculiar and from the viewer's perspective, has an unnatural appearance. i've spent quite a bit of time cruising the west coast looking for 'rugged coastline' scenes, so can relate to collecting them.

Re: PESO - Rugged Coast
I like it. It's different. Not your usual coastal pic. However, I think some of your blacks might be clipped. I'm looking at it on my laptop, so I can't be certain. But I'm thinking you could gain some shadow detail and still get some crushed blacks where you want them.

Re: PESO - Rugged Coast
I like it mate, the only criticism I'd have is that perhaps the foreground rocks dominate just a little too strongly. I'd be tempted to experiment with different crops. Great exposure though and well spotted.
