Shetland seascapes (VI) Photo

Photographer’s Note

The weather is still deteriorating, but I wanted to show you the curious arch-shaped rock in front of the shore. The other interesting point here is the line of telephone poles, which marks a road just between the sea in the background and he pond in the foreground, a road which I will surely not used at the time of the winter storms. I am sure someone familiar with the Shetlands could be able to name the precise location of that one.

There will be a last seascape tomorrow, then we will start the journey back to Norway.

Bonjour Emmanuel,
j'admire la manière dont la photo rend la force du vent sur la surface de l'eau.
Des couleurs ternes et des lumières fades, mais on sait qu'elles sont telles et tu les rends à merveille.
Un grand bonjour de Liège.
Daniel.

Bonsoir Emmanuel
Ma foi, on dirait un animal marin entrain de se désaltérer. Son corps étant à gauche et sa tête à droite. On croirait qu'il a le museau dans l'eau. Vraiment intriguant ce rocher. Bonne netteté et couleurs paisibles. Bonne idée et merci de partager
Amicalement
Denis!

Hi Emmanuel,

Very nice picture with the sea agitated by the wind. The dark rock is very interesting. Excellent POV, good colors and details.

Greetings
Leonor

Hello Emmanuel,
I notice the shape of that rock, a shape created by the sea for years and years!
A pleasant composition, showing the rugged and somewhat hostile landscape so well...
And I'm looking forward to the journey back to Bergen!
Greetings,

NeatImage does wonders to the sky but can remove desirable details like grass and such in the ground...

:-) OK-

bonsoir Emmanuel
il me vient une reflection nous avions parlé du petit trop de bleu ou d UV frequent sur les films argentiques et pour cause il s'agit de la longueur d'onde la plus énergétique pour une telle emulsion.
la relative ancienneté entraine aussi un virage de l'image d'origine vers le cyan(et pire vers le magenta) au moment du scannage il y a aussi la possibilité de compenser le petit trop.
une question il s'agit de films Agfa ?
bonne soirée à bientot HC

Hi Emmanuel,

At first I thought that you were the first to prove the existence of the monster of Loch Ness, that has escaped to the Shetland isles. But at second look I think it is Moby Dick who is calling you back to the sea :-))

Groet Rob

Bonjour Emmanuel
Yes the peculiar shaped rock is definitely the prime draw. At first glance, looks like an elephant. The water in the FG it seems has cross waves. Even though the light is dim, I like this picture because of the various interesting elements you show us. Good work!

Angshu
