City - St Peter Port State - GUERNSEY Country - United Kingdom
About
Castle Cornet is the dominant feature guarding the harbour of Guernsey's capital St Peter Port. There's no drama in the sky in this shot; as much as I try, I haven't quite mastered the creation of perfectly photogenic cloud formations yet! Instead, I composed my shot early and waited for a balance of light in the scene. On a clear night such as this, there is a short moment in time where the ambient light hits that 'sweet-spot'. It is a fleeting moment, usually somewhere within the half-hour after sunset, where everything balances perfectly and the sky glows the deepest blue. This perfect light exists for a very short time, a couple of minutes at most, and it is this moment I intentionally waited for in this photograph. Another thing I can't control is the tide. This image will be improved drastically with a still high-tide lapping the uprights of the walkway - a return visit is on the cards!
...poetry...life...the storm is gone and the light start to shine upon you....your journey is start...of happiness...peace...freedom...a path to find yourself. God bless your feet and everything around you. big hug
I like this, Daniel, and you clearly put a lot of thought and effort into it. The colours are superb, and the road leads the eyes quite nicely into the composition. Can't say anything about the detail as I find the image a little small.
