Cave at Rosh Hanikra
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Rosh Hanikra is a chalk cliff on the beach of Upper Galilee on the border between Israel and Lebanon. Throughout human history, Rosh Hanikra served as point of passage for trading caravans and armies between the northern cultures of Lebanon and Syria and the southern cultures of Egypt and other regions of Africa.
A labyrinth of grottoes has been worn out of the cliffs, formed by geological processes, by waves striking constantly upon the soft rock and the constant ebb and flow of seawater.
The grottoes change visually at different times of the day. At sunset the sea and cavern walls take on a special color. I had difficulty managing the light from this angle (shooting from darkness toward the bright sunlight streaming into the cave entrance, thus producing the overexposure at the lightest point) and would welcome suggestions. |

Hi Sandy, I fear that this grotto is quite difficult to photograph... I can tell you what I would do if I was there... maybe taking the exposure in the lighter point of the rocks (not in the entrance) and maintaining it changing the angle to shot. But I'm not sure that it would work! I'm not so good with digital cameras!
However it's a very nice POV with the white foam on the rocks ant the charming light.
Tanks for sharing
