p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Surreal rock formation | Cilento Italy


After one year working in Sydney far from home I went back to Italy for a holiday break of 3 weeks. I enjoyed the family portraits and had the chance to take some landscapes. Despite the generous opportunities offered everywhere in Australia, I am always amazed by the wonderful sunsets of my land.

Below a set of long exposures of a rock formation extruding from the water that took my attention. Taken at sunset in Cilento, Italy.

Comments are appreciated
Cheers

I think #2 is more balanced than #1. And #3 is pretty cool, I like it.

Very nice set, and also very nice to see the shooting parameters as that really helps to understand the image for me at least.

Like #3 the best, but all are very nice!

#1 for me. The third shot looks perhaps a little busy.

Thank you for the comments. Actually it was quite challenging to take those shots as I had to enter the water half body and climb on another rock with the camera, filters and tripod.
In the first shot the shape of the rock suggested to locate it on the left side of the frame and the alignment with the sun imo seems to improve the shot. I prefer 1 better than the second shot. The third shot is with the zoom set at 16mm and cropped just a bit in post. All pics were processed with a slightly different method in LR + Nik

#1 for me. I love the shot up to the clouds but the dark band then over-powers the frame a little. I'd try lightening the clouds to get more definition, see what it looks like, it may work it may not.

I think it's an improvement however unfortunately it seems that dark bank of clouds is never going to enhance the shot, sadly because the other 80% is gorgeous.
