Enjoying the Silence Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi there,

I took this picture on the beach in Bray, co.Wicklow. It is a very popular place, where normally everyone visiting Dublin goes eventually. But I suppose the most of it you get when the sun sets or rises... On this one it was about 30mins after the sunset. Very few people around, and the view, colours, light.

Bray (Irish: Bré, formerly Brí Chualann) is a town in north County Wicklow. It normally is a busy urban centre and seaside town. It is situated about 20 km (12 mi) south of Dublin on the east coast.

The town also straddles the Dublin-Wicklow border, with a portion of the northern suburbs situated in County Dublin. Bray is home to Ireland's only dedicated film studios, Ardmore Studios where films such as Excalibur, Braveheart, and Breakfast on Pluto have been shot.

Have a nice evening!

Excellent post-sunset image, with gorgeous pastel colours. Your low POV on what appears to be an out-let pipe works very well, showing wonderful details & texture on the rocks. The slow shutter has made the movement of the water appear as mist adding to the atmosphere.

Co to jest?
Jakis beton?
Zreszta niewazne, posadzam Cie ze w naturze to bylo jakies potworne zlomowisko, a Ty jak zwykle zrobiles z tego dzielo sztuki!
Kolory po prostu nieziemskie. Fantastyczny gradient barw z lewej na prawa. Wspanialy efekt dlugiej ekspozycji. Intrygujaca, piekna kompozycja.
Gratulacje i TFS,
M

Hi Dariusz,

The green is striking .. I have had to stare at the center of this .. I think it is just stone ... but it almost looks like a pipe .. love the exposure .. love the light .. love the balance between foreground and infinity.

take care,

John

Czesc,
ladny obraz, jak pociagniety pedzlem. Dlugi czas dal przyjemny efekt rozmycia horyzontu i falujacego morza. Jakos nie pasuje mi cisza, chyba byl jakis szum fal. Fajne te zmurszale kawaly skal na 1szym planie.
Pozdr. Al.

Hey Dariusz .. POV works out really well to capture both blue and orange colour at the back.

Is that mist of the water? Who knows haha..

Love seeing the picture through your eyes.. keep them coming..

Bonjour Darek.
Cette photo est très belle avec ce premier plan bien travaillé et cette perspective qui va vers nulle part. Beau rendu de la pierre et de la mousse.
Excellent !
Salutations amicales
Jacques

Czesc Darek! Zapewne panuja tutaj cisza i spokoj, ale ta tajemnicza mgla przyprawia o ciarki na plecach. Swietna metaforyczna fotografia. Klaniam sie!

Hello Dariusz.
I'd have preferred this shot a little bit less symetric, but it's a question of taste. Great colors and mood.
Best regards.
Bobo.

Hi Dariusz,
Very good depth of field; the large boulders with one (concrete?) aiming towards the horizon, misty waters and sun glow.

Good job,
Ray

Czesc Darku
Ciekawa kompozycja, taka minimalistyczna ale ma cos w sobie. Kamienie i ta mgielka buduja ciekawy klimat tego zdjecia.
Gratuluje pomyslu!
Andrzej

Hello Dariusz,

That touch of red adds a wonderful warm feeling to the scene!
Excellent details in the rocks in front, a dynamic composition with a strong lead-in...
A special sunset mood has been recorded!

Greetings,
Pablo -
