About An erratic boulder purched on top of Gugh, a small island in the Isles of Scilly group. The heather almost glowed in the light of the setting sun and it felt almost surreal to be walking amongst it. I used a 1 stop soft ND grad to balance the exposure and an 81B warm-up filter to remove the blue cast that Velvia takes on at dusk.

Stunning colours and a superb composition, Barry!
A quality shot, as ever.
Best regards, Chris

I really like the composition and the foreground. The sky colour looks a little too surreal for my liking but a great picture none the less.

A very nice frame.

I like the rock glowing in the light surrounded by all that flowers.

Thanks also for thech details. Congrats. Fabio

A great motif, and superb lighting and colors. I think you made an excellent job to convey your surreal feeling, skilled photographic work with filters
Regards
Carsten

Hello Barry - how you record exposure information when you are out? Notebook or recorder? I take things down in a little book but I forget half the time and it is a little bit in the way... Any tips?


Barry Wakelin   {K:7838} 10/18/2005
Stefan, thanks for the comment. I actually manage to remember the filters used and exposure long enough that I don't need to write it down until I get home then I generally record it on my PC. I find the intensity of the experience of creating a good shot gives me a strong mental feeling and picture to which I can attach the quantitative data like exposure, f/stop and filters used.


Stefan Engström   {K:24473} 10/18/2005
Alas, I'm not blessed with that kind of memory. I'll keep writing down EV, aperture and shutter I guess. On a side note, I find your the details you put down on some of your landscapes very helpful (as I probably have mentioned before). In fact, I think you could consider writing a tutorial or book on this kind of photography were you so inclined. Think about it - you have the illustrations taken care of already :-)

Very dream-like and (I know this sounds like a contradiction) but it has a smooth feel while also having some sharp details like the lichen on the rock. Your perspective really illustrates the perched nature of the rock. The humor in me wants to say, "Don't Sneeze!" Seriously, a very fine photograph. Rodney
