Mystical Granite City

Nigg Bay, Aberdeen, Scotland

British summertime officially ended today and we were treated to wonderful light on the North East Coast, morning & evening!
The day started with a sunrise at Dunottar Castle and ended with a spectacular evening of light at Aberdeen’s Nigg Bay
Continued my experimentation with extreme exposures on the this image, using an extreme natural density filter, 6 stops ... giving 80 secs exposure
I particularly liked the way the sky and sea softens against the coarse hard rocks … with a sense of mystery in the sea
The slight gold light from the sun to the left of the image lit up the foreground rock beautifully … a wonderful goodbye to summertime!

Dramatic lighting and colors create such a strong atmosphere. Great job with the long exposure. "V"

You are 'on a roll' what super set of images, the light on the rock in the foreground is stunning. V

Wow do you do a spectacular job of capturing this dramatic lighting. The blurring out caused by the long exposure is indeed very pleasing. ~BV~
