Hook Head with a storm – updated.
-
Thanks Zoltan and JB for pointing out that to me is obvious – the overwork. I normally leave my images on a card and wait to process for a few days – then I’m processing an image, not the memory of the occasion. Today I couldn’t help myself. I will go back at this…I think the occasion is worth it.
And of course appreciation to all who commented…it makes the soaking all the more acceptable. And the horizon – it’s a rising cliff…still looks wonky though.
Now, to clarify. Rather than this being an episode of what not to do when taking photographs – I was never in any danger from the elements. The wetting was from the breaker being blown in my direction. I wouldn’t like it to be seen to be acceptable to put yourself in any danger to produce something that will shortly become forgettable…unless you’re in the line of photography like James Nachtwey, Robert Capa or Van Es…which is unlikely. And as a former RNLI member and scuba diver in this very area the knowledge of the dangers of the sea are only too familiar. I appreciate the concerns though.Alan
PS – I had to think – red kitchen…it took me a while. Obviously there’s a lot more Gb in JB than AR.
Wha wha? Gb – memory in JB. AR being me still in Kb.
That’s the wha answered?

Just as I said, lacking dedication and will to take risks. I can tell you from my warm room, typing this on the keyboard, this photo would have been better, was it taken from the edge of the cliffs.
I don’t want to start a fight or anything..

Erm, it was! Wouldn’t call that dangerous though. We’re at different levels Zoltan…typing this from my warm room with a pint of black stuff…and it ain’t oil. :wink:

Ah yes.
No point in having loads of memory and a puny processor…
Alan –
Cracking shot, all that salt spray can’t be good for the camera =)The horizon is indeed crooked, but most people won’t notice it. And to straighten it, the lighthouse would be falling over to the right. So I’d leave that well enough alone.
Cheers,
Peterwell well Alan… this is stunning
Everything is in perfect balance without getting boring.
Drama in the sea and sky, b&w conversion (art for itself) beautiuflly done.
Not just “another” lighthouse image….because there is the story of Lighthouse’s nature – dealing with the moody sea!
If somebody would ask me, to point on my favorite image in PI so fare….i would choose this one!
This image can do a lot for you, if you use it right ( ;
Cheers
M*Gulp! Thanks Madeleine…praise indeed coming from someone with your skill. Now all I need to do is use it right! ;-)
Thanks Peter. I’ll be going at this again and the cliffs, or horizon will be level in the update…independently of the lighthouse.
Alan
This is great, i really like the B&W treatment too, adds to the drama.

Image updated – “horizon” leveled and some loose masking corrected…and it’s not green anymore!
