Alex Scott Offline Image Upload: Off Embleton Beach Not posted here for while so thought I would upload one from a recent trip to Northumberland on the East coast of England. This was shot from Embleton Beach with Lilburn Tower in the BK, which is part of Dunstanburgh Castle. Apr 13, 2008 at 12:39 PM

David Leask Offline Image Upload: On Embleton Beach That's a beauty Alex - super colours and fg detail The warm light glinting on some of the rocks makes the shot even better. David Apr 13, 2008 at 01:11 PM

ScaryFox Offline Image Upload: On Embleton Beach Wonderful light and perspective. The few golden rocks are excellent. Well done! Ute Apr 14, 2008 at 06:31 AM

realkuhl Offline Image Upload: Off Embleton Beach Very nice, you don't mention exposure times or what filters were used, but the long shutter length adds a nice dreamy effect to this... looks like you got wet Apr 14, 2008 at 06:45 AM

Heinz H Offline Image Upload: On Embleton Beach Your work is excellent, please post more often. Great light and composition! - Heinz Apr 14, 2008 at 06:47 AM

Alex Nail Offline Image Upload: Off Embleton Beach Great shot Alex, a different perspective on a location I have seen so many photos of. If I was to be ultra critical I wouild say the sky is a little too dark compared to the water, although that does add to the mood. I really enjoyed looking at your gallery.

MartinMcl Offline Image Upload: On Embleton Beach Gorgeous shot, Alex. I like the composition with the portrait orientation emphasising the foreground with that beautiful gold on the rocks; and the castle, slightly menaceing in the background. Very nicely done. Apr 14, 2008 at 05:17 PM

Alex Scott Offline Image Upload: Off Embleton Beach Thanks for the very encouraging feedback folks, it's appreciated. I used a 3 stop grad, TV 0.8sec, Av f/20. Thanks again. Apr 16, 2008 at 09:02 PM

hugh Offline Image Upload: On Embleton Beach Hello Alex, A fine image with excellent presence. Love the dark tones in the sky and rocks. Perhaps slightly less light on the hot spots in the water, but only slightly. Good work. hugh Apr 16, 2008 at 10:43 PM

Alex Scott Offline Image Upload: Off Embleton Beach I can see where you're coming from Hugh, but I liked the contrast between the water and rocks. I'll give it a try though and see how it looks. Cheers Apr 18, 2008 at 06:33 PM

JimFox Offline Image Upload: Off Embleton Beach Hey Alex, Very cool work here. Wonderfully captured. I know I really enjoyed that part of the UK very much when I was there. Just a fantastic coast. Jim Apr 19, 2008 at 08:12 AM

JaneG Offline Image Upload: Off Embleton Beach Hi Alex, Great comp, looks like you love this location, I remember your last post of this location which was really efffective. Great moody shot. I like the way you have a good size of the castle in the image. Reminds me of David Clapps style of shooting this location. The only problem I have is the completely blown whites in the water, have you tried getting those hghlights back in your raw file.... watch out for this as it really does detract fromm the image, it would have really been a fab fab image if you had got the water exposed correctly. Jane Apr 19, 2008 at 10:37 AM

mark70x70 Offline Image Upload: On Embleton Beach Very nice. I might take the two hot spots off the rocks? Apr 19, 2008 at 02:17 PM

MikeZelmar Offline Image Upload: Off Embleton Beach Wonderful shot Alex. I'm kind of new here, and I look forward to seeing more images from you. It's shots like this that made me want to join this board. Mike Apr 19, 2008 at 08:28 PM

Alex Scott Offline Image Upload: Off Embleton Beach Thanks Simon. It really is a great place to visit with a camera. It's my pleasure Jerry. Appreciated Jim. I usually go down there once a year, the coastline from Edinburgh all the way down to there is fantastic, especially at sunrise Thanks again Jane for your comments, always a pleasure. In the original raw file the whites of the water are spot on (if I must say so myself ) they also look ok on my monitor at home. Maybe compressing the file for web has lightened them slightly? Mark, I did think about removing the one on the left in the BG which I will go back and do, as I'm sure it would improve the image. Thanks for the comment. Thanks a lot Mark. It's always nice to get encouraging feedback. Thanks for taking the time to comment folks. May 09, 2008 at 08:08 AM
