Bay of Wonders Photo

Photographer’s Note

You may not believe but this is still Scotland :)

Beautiful Sanna Bay is located at Ardnamurchan peninsula. It is most westerly point of the British mainland and can be reached via a very long, very twisty, mainly single track road. The whole journey seems to take forever but I think the views out there makes the whole effort worthwhile.

The colours that day were simply amazing - you may not believe me, but I didn't increase any saturation in this photo. 0.6 GND filter was used to keep the sky exposed properly.

I suggest to see the LARGER version available at the following link :

Hi Piotr,
That's what I call a marvellous composition. I've been twice in Scotland and it's true that's a very beautiful and amazing country. There is a great diversity of landscapes.

I like very much the colors in your composition. The is several blues and that's very interessant. The constrast between stones, water, sky is well seen. I also like the way you took the sky.
It's well framed too.
A great picture.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a good afternoon :-)

Aimée

A wonderful landscape, Piotr. The viewpoint is marvellous across those interesting rocks and water that looks like it's in the tropics. The sky has turned out really well. I must try to get a decent SLR so I can start experimenting with those filters. Anyway, lovely photo.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Piotr ! Most beautiful landscape. I like the earthy tones but also the different blues and almost greens of the water. So well taken ... makes my afternoon (I have to clean the flat ...). All the best from Zurich (the sun coming through). Barbara.

Hi Piotr

Another top shot, worthy of any travel brochure of postcard. Great tones, detail and composition. I have travelled these roads too, hard work but worth it.

In reality, this is a beautiful picture of what seams to me a very quite place. The way you say it looks like only a few venture on that track. The sky is great and the ND filter made its job perfectly. Well done.
