A Little after Sunset can be purchased from Photo4Me
I have always preferred post sunset light as it is far less intense allowing the sensor to cope much better with the myriad of colour. I secretly love the fact that most people dissapear once the sun has dropped not realising that the best is yet to come.
That said I am conscious that the sky alone is simply not enough to whet the appetite you need some foreground interest – here I was spoiled by both the reflection and the small rockpool. We have had a week in Skye since my last post (keep watching for the shots)
I have also been without broadband for nearly 14 days so I am looking forward to being inspired by all your blog posts so the future is bright the future is Orange 🙂
Stunning image, Scott. I agree, the kaleidoscopic heavens are truly amazing when the sun has set. And I’m sure the best is yet to come for the both of us on our individual photographic journeys. I am blessed that I have you to inspire me.
I am truly glad you are taking photos again – and if I am inspiring you all the better. I am working hard to develop my craft and embarking on an educational journey.
Just catching up on posts I missed whilst away (no internet signal) and nearly missed this shot…..love it and you are so correct that the more subdued hues can be much more appealing.
David I am the same. It is a balancing act – work, play family, edit, educate, develop lol – In all honesty I could photograph this coast all night but it would get boring to those who have not experienced it. So diversity is key.
Hard to beat this one – gorgeous light , colours and landscape. Just love it.
Leya thank you so much for such an impassioned description – many thanks.
Wow Scott! This is super stunning! 🙂
brilliant really glad you Like it Rachel
Now that is just surreal! What an incredible sky, so wonderfully captured! And the reflections are stunning!
Brilliant – I love those reactions Susan
This is a really interesting photograph Scott! Love it.
Good there a lot of similar comments – well received by all accounts – thank you
Difficult to imagine that is real! That kind of light not exist everywhere. It looks in your place the light is special.
It is double layered really with only the higher clouds being tickled with aftersun – we see this type of finish to the day frequently as there is more land across the firth which means we don’t always see the sun drop out of the Sky just reduce in intensity – the reflections are frequent due to the shallow beach.
Stunning shot.
Thanks Rigmover
What an amazing sky and sunset. I don’t think I have seen anything like this before. Beautifully captured.
Many thanks Otto – sunsets are cliched – I stopped shooting them so frequently as I was struggling to find some fresh foreground interest. But I forgot people just love the light and don’t always need that extra detail – they just want to enjoy the light.
What to say? It’s absolutely glorious, Scott. I want to stand on that beach. 🙂
It is Jo just one of these moments to drink up fully as you may not see one again for a while.
I think this is my favourite photo of all I’ve seen from you. And that is saying something!
WoW now that’s a comment Lyle – these shots are more about the circumstance rather than the photographers input – glad you liked it.
Incredible Photo!!!!!!!
You can come back lol
Wow! That is a seriously stunning picture. Breathtakingly beautiful.
That is a brilliant response many thanks
Magnificent photo. The lighthouse in the distance is a nice point of interest too.
Well spotted – I can measure the season depending on where the sunsets in relationship to the Lighthouse. Thanks Lignum.
Utterly gorgeous.
Yes it truly is thanks so much Gunta
Very nice, love the soft colors on this, makes it stand out imo; lots of sunsets are so oversaturated!
Greetings,
Ron
Cheers Ron – yes the temptation of the sliders – ha ha
Wonderful display. 🙂
Isn’t it just magnificent – definitely you feel part of it you sense the calm and ambiance its not just the photo its about experiencing it.
Beautiful light but you are right it is the foreground interesting reflections that make the shot.
Absolutely Lee beautiful sunsets are ten a penny but for me if you want them to stand out they need something else
This is absolutely breathtaking, Scott. Great shot! 🙂
It was a genuine stunner Sylvia I felt part of what was happening if that makes any sense.
Beautiful late light…such drama
Drama is an excellent choice of words GM
